Description

**14th CENTURY PELE TOWER WITH FORMER VICARAGE AND COTTAGE - SHELTERED AND PRIVATE LOCATION - LARGE FORMAL GARDENS - UNIQUE HISTORICAL BUILDING**
No EPC required

A magnificent opportunity to acquire an historic property in a charming village situation.

The three storey Pele tower incorporates medieval masonry and parapet with spiral stone stairs leading out to the crenellated roof top. The former vicarage provides elegant and spacious living accommodation, sympathetically upgraded to contemporary living whilst retaining all the charm of such an ancient building.  It has a cottage/annexe over the garage extending the living space or as a holiday letting option. 

The property incorporates modern bio-mass heating which is interchangeable with the mains gas Worcester Bosch condensing boiler, which was installed in 2011. Both alternatives providing very economical heating costs.

Many windows are of Gothic arch design with internal shutters and afford good views out over the gardens, and the adjacent church and churchyard.  The former Victorian wash house has been converted, again in keeping with the Gothic style, to an artist’s studio.  The formal gardens are a delight with gravelled paths, archways, patio areas, lawns with an abundance of flowering plants, shrubs and fruit trees.

The Grade II listed Pele tower and house i.e. 14th Century defensive tower (dating around 1380) and former vicarage,  was remodelled during the 18th Century,  mid 19th Century and mid 20th Century. The property was seized and was under the ownership of the crown from 1403 until 1461.   The tower is in the 1415 list of castles and fortalices in the Harleian manuscripts which were compiled for King Henry V to inform him of his strength on the Scottish Border before he left for his battle at Agincourt. 

The current owners are placing the property on the market after almost thirty years enjoyment, making this a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is a specialist property affording quirky and generous accommodation full of character and history.  Only an internal inspection can fully understand and appreciate the full extent of the accommodation on offer.
