Horseshoes, The Street, Whatfield

An individual period house discreetly located in the centre of Whatfield

Set well back in its 0.26-acre plot, Horseshoes is an attractive grade II listed period house which dates from the late 16th century. As its name suggests, the house was once the village pub which served Whatfield for decades, and as such Horseshoes is an historic landmark to the village.

The core of the ground floor reception space has a notable, open-plan arrangement, which chiefly comprises the former dining and seating areas to its previous use. To the rear is the kitchen, which is comprehensively fitted on three walls with a Smeg range cooker. The adjacent utility / boot room offers extensive storage space which was once the former barrel room / store. The remaining ground floor provides a further reception room / study, with a family room / ground floor bedroom with adjacent bathroom.

Via a central landing, the first floor provides four double bedrooms, where the main bedroom provides an ensuite bathroom and dressing room.

Outside, the property approached onto an extensive gravelled area, which provides ample off-road front parking. Offering good privacy, the garden extends on three sides which chiefly consists of areas of lawn which are interspersed with established hedges and trees.
