Property description
A Grade II listed period detached property on a plot of approximately 0.6 acres with a private south westerly facing landscaped rear garden on the edge of a small, semi rural village.
The property retains period features including exposed beams and timbers, high ceilings, ledge and brace doors, and inglenook and period fireplaces, one featuring a former bread oven. The accommodation extends to over 3,280 sq. ft. and includes three reception rooms, a conservatory, a fitted kitchen, separate utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor there is a galleried landing and five double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a dressing room/en suite, and there is a family bathroom. A five bar gate leads into the driveway which provides parking and access to the double car port and workshop. A curved high wall and hedgerow provides screening at the front and two pedestrian gates lead to the front and rear gardens. An additional outbuilding to the rear of the house could be converted into additional independent accommodation subject to consent.
Reception Rooms
The solid oak front door opens into a dual aspect sitting room which has an inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove. The room is divided by central timbers which create a study area. The dining room has a deep built-in cupboard. The dual aspect snug has an inglenook fireplace with a raised hearth, open grate and original bread oven. The conservatory is of uPVC and double glazed construction under a pitched roof and has doors to the rear garden.

Gardens
The gardens are a particular feature and surround the property with views over open fields. They are principally lawned with established landscaped borders and mature trees.
