17th Century Grade II Listed Home, First Time on the Market in Over 40 Years

Offered for sale for the first time in more than four decades, this Grade II listed property dates back to the 17th century and offers a rare opportunity to purchase a home with significant historical interest. It has served as a long-term family home and stands out locally due to its period features and layout.

The interior retains a large number of original features, including wattle and daub walls, exposed oak beams, a freestanding AGA, and original timber latch doors. Some updates have been carried out over the years, such as a recently modernised kitchen and replacement of select windows.

The entrance porch provides a practical transition from outside, leading into a central hallway with access to the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a useful understairs area used for coats and storage.

At the rear of the house, the living room overlooks the garden and features a large open fireplace with recessed shelving on either side. An exposed wattle and daub wall and oak beams add to the character of the space.

The kitchen has been updated with a good range of wall and base units, solid timber worktops, soft-close fittings, and integrated appliances including a fridge and freezer. The electric AGA remains a key feature. Original wall details and beams have been retained. From the kitchen, doors lead to both a rear conservatory and a side dining area, which in turn connects to a utility room.

The bathroom is located at the foot of the stairs and includes a modern three-piece suite with a jacuzzi-style bath and overhead shower.

First Floor

The landing is spacious and provides access to all three bedrooms, a separate WC, and the loft.

The main bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property, overlooking the garden. It benefits from a built-in shower area, a neutral finish, and plenty of natural light.

The second bedroom, also a double, faces the rear garden, while the third is a generously sized single room located at the front of the house.

Due to the layout of the plot, all bedrooms enjoy views over the surrounding gardens, either the established cottage-style garden at the rear or the larger front garden area

Outside

The property occupies a generous plot and is set back from the lane behind a large front garden. This space includes a well-maintained lawn, timber rose arches, and a spacious driveway, offering a distinctive approach to the home.

A detached single garage sits to the side, clear and well-kept, providing useful space for storage or secure parking.

To the side of the house is a smaller garden area, previously used as a vegetable allotment, with gated access leading to the rear.

The rear garden is designed in a traditional cottage style, private, enclosed, and well stocked with a mix of flowering shrubs, established plants, and ornamental trees.
