Property description

A Grade II listed early 18th century three/four bedroom detached property with driveway parking, a double garage and a part walled rear garden.

The property was built in 1729 as a private dwelling, and was then used as a public house from the late 1700s before being converted back into a private house in the mid 1950s. The 2,372 sq. ft. of accommodation includes two reception rooms, an open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room and a study/fourth bedroom providing versatility. There is also a utility/boiler room in the original cellar and a boot room and a shower room on the ground floor. On the first floor there is a long landing, three bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom. Bedroom two has fitted wardrobes, and the principal bedroom has steps down to a dual aspect dressing room which could be converted into an en suite subject to planning permission.

The farmhouse kitchen/breakfast/family room is dual aspect and measures over 23 ft. The central island has a quartz work surface and incorporates an oven, fridge, double butler sink, and an integrated hob. There is also a feature inglenook fireplace at one end of the room and the family area at the other end has a feature corner fireplace housing a log burner. The sitting room measures 24 ft. and has exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove. The dining room has a feature cast iron fireplace and French oak flooring. Both rooms are dual aspect.
