History and Heritage
The property was given Grade II listed status in October 1951 as a property of particular architectural and historic interest. The main house dates back the 17th century and has been altered over the centuries with additions in the 19th and 20th centuries and a two storey extension in 2019. The oldest part of the house is timber framed with brick infill and is whitewashed at the front with a thatched roof. The 19th century extension to the right is of whitewashed brick with a slate roof. The most recent extension is at the rear of the property and replaced a 1960s conservatory. The vendors have undertaken a complete renovation programme on the main house including re wiring, new boilers, re plumbing, new bathrooms, replastering, and complete redecoration to a high specification with Farrow and Ball paint and designer wallpapers including Christopher Farr, Lewis and Wood, Kit Kemp and Thibaut.
