This property will take you breath away as you wander amongst the stone ruins, two-story stone spring house hide-a-way and the spectacular 19th century English bank barn with stunning new doors and re-pointed stone walls. The Chef-designed kitchen is an ideal gathering spot for entertaining, testing recipes, cozying up with a book, or to watch TV, and certainly the ultimate experience for the cooking enthusiast.
