Patton House was built in 1801 and sits in a wonderful, elevated position within 37 acres of beautiful grounds, with magnificent panoramic views over the spectacular surrounding countryside.
Typical of its period, the property has well-proportioned square rooms and high ceilings. Both formal reception rooms are positioned to the front of the house to take advantage of the wonderful views: the dining room has a large bay window with original shutters and bell pull along with built-in leaded cupboards and a beautiful Georgian fireplace, while the drawing room also offers French doors out to the terrace.
