The Nest at Severels is a modern annexe which is newly and stylishly renovated, while keeping many of it's stunning original features and making the most of views of the surrounding garden.
It was designed by the architect Walter Greaves in 1980 and it is one of only a very few late 20th Century houses to be granted a rare Grade II* listing.
