4 bedroom cottage for sale

Approached via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway bordered by mature rhododendrons and evergreens, Fulmer Chase is celebrated for its tranquillity, privacy, and historic charm. Originally built by Mrs Angas, it was sold to Edward Baron, a prominent industrialist of his time, in the 1920s. The estate enjoys a distinguished past, having served as a wartime military hospital before the main house was converted into luxury apartments in the 1950s. Today, it comprises an exclusive collection of homes set within beautifully maintained, park-like grounds. Offered to the market for the first time in nearly thirty years, Dirry Mor Cottage represents a truly rare opportunity.
