THE SALTBOX
The main house is rich in history. Back in the 17th century, it was the village pub – The White Hart Inn. An extra floor and Georgian frontage were added in the 1800s, giving it the distinctive roof profile which earned it the local nickname of "The Saltbox". Why? The present owners moved here in 2018, and we have fallen in love with this special place, which we love sharing with others.
