"This idyllic property, of nearly five pastoral acres, has paths that meander over streams and under majestic oak trees t hat set the stage for this stately home. Designed in 1927 by renowned architect, Paul Williams, this quintessential English County Manor has a wealth of stunning features that make it a superb example of the elegance and sophistication that made Williams famous. Graceful woodcarvings, ornate plaster moldings, a vaulted ceiling and leaded glass windows echo the grand country estates of Britain. Some of the original tile and fixtures have been restored to maintain the integrity of the home. The estate includes a Bungalow adjacent to the pool and a Guest Cottage rich with rural charm."
