Description

Situated within a conservation area and built in 1880 by the Temperance Society as a coffee house, Bartley House soon became the co-operative stores before being converted for residential use in the 1950s. Bartley House is a handsome attached house built of brick and rendered elevations under a pitched clay tile roof. Bartley House has expansive accommodation over three floors with excellent ceiling heights and nicely proportioned rooms. In recent years the garage has been integrated into the accommodation and is now part of the large kitchen/breakfast room. Other works include overhauling the roof, lining one of the chimneys has recently been replaced. While in need of some updating, Bartley House occupies an elevated site with lovely views over the village.

The property is approached off the lane onto a shared tarmac drive leading to car parking and turning area in front of the property.
