This restored historic home with its three acres of lawns and gardens is located at the center of the historic Village of South Britain. Within walking distance are dozens of landmarks: homes, churches, mill factories and the first library and town hall for the Town of Southbury. Nearby are hiking trails, bikes and horses to rent, bird-watching sites, and antique stores. 
 
The house with its grace and charm is set in two acres of natural beauty with an expansiveness of lawns and gardens framed by a ring of forests. This is a perfect place for social gatherings, family reunions, weddings and many types of events, or just a visit to a tranquil, beautiful place.
