The Sanctuary is an exquisite country house and estate, offering a magnificent house, additional self-contained accommodation, and extensive outbuildings including fantastic equestrian facilities.

These include the principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom and picturesque views across the surrounding gardens and grounds. In total there are a further five bathrooms.

It includes two ground-floor reception rooms and a well-equipped kitchen, while upstairs there are three bedrooms, plus a family bathroom.
