The home...
This substantial house is believed to date back to the 16th century and is Grade II Listed, considered to be of architectural and historical merit. The house is traditionally constructed with a timber frame and plastered elevations, with considerable character including inglenook fi replaces and many exposed timbers.
The house has greatly benefitted from modernisation, the most significant change being the addition of a beautiful oak framed extension to the kitchen, which has also been re-fitted to a bespoke design by local craftsmen. In addition, there is a sitting room, dining room and office in the original part of the house. The kitchen enjoys the warmth of an aga and has ample storage and worktop space.
On the first floor there is a generous landing, currently being used as a dressing room, but which could provide additional bedroom accommodation. There are four bedrooms, one en suite and a family bathroom.
Outside, the driveway leads to a gravelled parking and turning area and to the triple garage, which has an external staircase to an annexe with abed/sitting room, shower room and small kitchen. The grounds are very much a feature and include an extensive terrace, traditional herbaceous borders,a lavender border and climbing plants including honeysuckle, roses and wisteria. The remainder of the grounds are laid to lawn with a large number of trees, a hard tennis court, oil tank and dog kennel. In total, approximately 1.5 acres.
