Property description

A Grade II listed 17th century former farmhouse, remodelled and extended in the 19th century and now in need of renovation.

The property was given listed status by English Heritage on 28 February 1979 (1059723). The house is of brick construction under a gabled old tile roof and the 19th century extension at the rear gives it a double depth plan and approximately 2,516 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. The front door opens into an entrance hall with parquet flooring, which gives access to the sitting room, an inner hall with a ground floor shower room, and a study. A corridor to the right leads to the dining room and a kitchen which has a pantry and adjoining utility room. The staircase from the hall leads up to a first floor landing which has a built-in cupboard and a walk-in store, and provides access to the five bedrooms, and the family bathroom. The property has a wealth of original features throughout including oak beams.
