The original part of this fabulous home dates back to circa 16th century and has since been tastefully refurbished throughout and continues to retain a wealth of characterful features including exposed oak beams, original flooring and doors with metal latch fittings, deep sill windows and exposed stonework. Boasting generous and versatile living spaces, the accommodation comprises two ground floor reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a ground floor bathroom, utility room, guest w/c, four double bedrooms, an en-suite shower room, a family shower room and a versatile fourth reception room within the attic space (which is accessed via a concertina loft ladder). The main living room offers high ceilings achieving a great feeling of space as well as boasting a log burning stove for those cooler evenings opening up to the dining room (thought to be the oldest part of the home).
The garden to the front of the home is the most stunning example, boasting a real suntrap of a garden. Our current vendors have worked hard to achieve the most beautiful arrangement of beds, lawn and paved area for alfresco dining and drinking, enclosed by a tall hedgerow In addition to the front is a driveway leading to the large double garage offering plenty of off-road parking.

A door from the kitchen leads to the inner hall, which gives access to the bathroom, a storage cupboard and the living room.
