In the 19th century Bishop’s Seat was a barn for making hemp rope. A local farmer, Mr Bishop, built a cottage near the barn for his retirement in 1956 and named the property after himself. In 1980 the present owners renovated the barn into a highly individual dwelling and extended it to join the cottage. This established a secluded u-shaped home with high vaulted ceilings extensive wood cladding and an open plan feel, giving it unique character. There is a sauna and three of the bedrooms have ensuite loft bathrooms. The cottage, though now physically joined to the main building, can function as an independent annexe for guest accommodation or multi-generational living, with its own driveway and garage. The grounds are a delight of extensive lawns, wild areas, ponds, a “secret” walled garden and a woodland backdrop, plus a large south-facing kitchen terrace and a hard-surface tennis court. The double garage forms part of the main building, and there is space in the grounds for parking at least 10 cars..
