Believed to date from the 1890s, Talbot House was originally a row of smaller cottages and has, over time, been thoughtfully combined to create a spacious and characterful family home.  The flexible ground floor accommodation comprises a well appointed kitchen with a separate utility room, an impressive vaulted dining room and a cosy sitting room featuring a fireplace with wood burning stove.  The current owners have also added a bright and airy vaulted garden room extension and the ground floor is further complemented by a study and a bathroom.  To the first floor, the landing leads to 4 bedrooms and a second bathroom.

Outside, the property sits within attractively landscaped gardens and grounds extending to approximately 0.29 acre (subject to survey).  There is ample driveway parking together with an extensive range of outbuildings, including a large garage, carport and store, all offering potential for a variety of uses.

Talbot House is offered for sale with no onward chain.
