Set opposite Bitchfield Tower, this Grade I listed property features exposed stonework, oak floors and contemporary amenities.
Bitchfield Tower itself is a three-storey battlemented tower built in the 15th century by the Middleton family. In 1622, Robert Fenwick built a new manor house adjoining the tower and the 6-acre estate was acquired by Sir Charles Monck in 1802. It was in a state of ruin by 1930 but has since been restored. The Carriage House sits opposite Bitchfield Tower and was formerly the carriage house and stable for the grand manor house. Grade I listed, it retains many special features and has been sympathetically restored by the owners.
