9 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Lingfield
This magnificent house is believed to date back to circa 1650. The original part consists of the drawing room and the bedrooms over. Subsequently, there have been later additions. There are well proportioned rooms with high ceilings and many original features including open fireplaces. The property has been in the same family ownership for almost 40 years and now requires refurbishment.
