We are delighted to present this remarkable Grade II* listed four bedroom Tudor farmhouse, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a home of significant character, history and scale. Dating back to the 16th century and occupying a generous plot of approximately one third of an acre, the property seamlessly blends period craftsmanship with practical family living, making it equally suited as a distinctive permanent home or an enchanting country retreat. 

STEP INSIDE Arranged over three floors, the home is both generous and versatile, with an abundance of original features throughout. Exposed beams, brick and timber flooring, sash windows and striking inglenook fireplaces all contribute to the home's rich sense of heritage.
The ground floor offers a welcoming sitting room, an elegant dining room ideal for entertaining, and an impressive drawing room providing a grand yet comfortable living space. The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with an integrated range cooker and benefits from a traditional pantry. Practical additions include a ground floor shower room and a useful laundry/boot room.
The first floor features three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite along with two walk-in wardrobes, creating a superb main suite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, with roll top bath.
On the upper level, the fourth bedroom and large attic rooms are currently useful storage space with restricted headroom.
 

STEP OUTSIDE The property sits within beautifully maintained grounds, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs, hedging and established trees, creating a sense of privacy and seclusion. A traditional pump well adds further charm to the garden, which provides an idyllic setting for outdoor dining, relaxation and family enjoyment. A sweeping driveway leads to a double garage.
