Accommodation:

Step through the welcoming front door into the entrance hallway, where the charm of history intertwines with modern comforts.

To your left, the inviting sitting room draws you in with its delightful fireplace, framed by a historical surround salvaged from a nearby 12th-century school. This reception room stretches 20 feet, offering double-aspect views of the gardens—perfect for cosy evenings or entertaining guests. Back in the foyer, you’ll discover a study room with stair access to the first bedroom, where rich exposed timbers and period details set the stage for the spaces that follow.

Continue your exploration into the breakfast room, where natural light floods in through large windows, brightening your mornings. The charming kitchen showcases solid wood bespoke units, allowing for flexibility in creating an open-plan kitchen diner. Adjacent to this area are a utility space and a practical downstairs bathroom. Further along, you’ll find the formal dining room or second lounge, bathed in natural light and providing access to the gardens via French doors. This space exemplifies versatility and the potential for expansion while maintaining the character you’d expect from a historic home.

At the far end of the house, ascend the staircase to the principal bedroom featuring an ensuite, along with two additional bedrooms ideally suited for older children seeking their own space or as guest accommodations.

Self-Contained Annex:

An exceptional feature of this home is the annex, once known as the dairy barn, which is rich in period details. With its own front door, driveway, and gardens, this space serves as an ideal guest house or accommodation for elderly family members. It comprises a spacious 24-foot lounge, a conservatory, a kitchen with driveway access, a double bedroom with an ensuite, along with a utility room and a separate WC.

Gardens and Outdoor Spaces:

Step outside to discover a true oasis. The gardens are the crowning jewel of this property, featuring a walled garden that envelops your outdoor space. Stroll through the vibrant gardens to a charming patio area, where you can relax and soak in the serene views of the orchard and the surrounding forest. With three distinct garden areas, this estate is an entertainer’s dream, perfect for summer gatherings or tranquil evenings under the stars.

The fruitful orchard enhances this enchanting setting, boasting a variety of fruit-bearing trees, including both eating and cooking apples, as well as pear trees. Vibrant rose bushes and attractive hedges enrich the landscape, while the large, securely fenced pond provides a sanctuary for aquatic plants and wildlife, creating a constantly evolving tableau.

Equestrian Opportunities:

For equestrian enthusiasts, the land offers incredible potential. Previously utilised for alpacas, the property’s vast grounds can easily accommodate horses or livestock once again. The two stables and tack room, combined with the 4.8 acres of unencumbered land, make for an ideal setup.
