The A3 (M) is with a 14 mile drive.


Herringbroom Studio (which is not listed) started life as a traditional oak framed agricultural barn and was part of nearby Ridlington Farm. It was converted into an Artists Studio over 30 years ago with rebuilding works undertaken by local experts Heritage Oak Buildings. In later years it was converted into a house and now provides the perfect combination of a wonderful atmospheric period building fully equipped for modern living.

There are two ground floor bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room and one with adjacent cloakroom which could be enlarged to provide an ensuite bathroom if required. The kitchen/breakfast room with its flagstoned floor also has a vaulted ceiling and upstairs is another bedroom/bathroom suite. Outside is the oil fired boiler and a small detached utility/storage building and another garden store.
