Shuttern House is a substantial property of indeterminate history. Like so many period houses of this age, it has developed over the years and it reputedly originally dates from the 17th Century and it is now listed Grade II, as being of Special Architectural and Historic Interest. It has a mellow and attractive appearance with the principal sections being constructed of brick and a tiled roof and the main south elevation is further enhanced by a large wisteria. The current owners have been in residence for some fifteen years and have carried out numerous improvements to the property, most notably the addition of a large conservatory/garden room, which affords a wonderful outlook over the rear garden and creates a wonderful living and entertaining space which links the drawing room and dining room. The property is beautifully presented and has zoned gas fired central heating and the majority of the windows are secondary double glazed.
