Stunning period village house, offering truly fantastic accommodation, which is beautifully presented. The house has wonderful views.

Description

Set in a prime village location, this outstanding village house offers truly exceptional accommodation and is presented to the highest standards. Believed to date back to the mid 1600s, the house is rich in charm and character. Its mellow stone façade gives little indication of the extensive and versatile space within, providing approximately 3,758 square feet of accommodation in the main house, together with an additional outbuilding.

The house offers a wonderful contrast in both style and scale. The front two reception rooms are heavily beamed, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere, with open fireplaces forming attractive focal points. Moving through the ground floor, the accommodation opens into a superb dining room with a stylish utility room adjoining. The kitchen breakfast room is an excellent size and is well fitted with a comprehensive range of units, with ample space for a breakfast table. From the kitchen, there is access to a delightful morning room which is light, spacious and ideal for relaxation. In addition, there is a gym overlooking the enclosed courtyard.

There are two ground floor bedrooms, both with en suite facilities, along with a dressing room and cloakroom. On the first floor, there are four further bedrooms, accessed via two staircases, together with two bathrooms.

Outside, parking is accessed from the rear through a gated entrance, where the double car port is located. This includes an attached store room and a studio above, offering a variety of potential uses. Summer entertaining is further enhanced by a garden pavilion enjoying lovely views to the rear. The garden itself is beautifully maintained and laid mainly to lawn.

Note: The vendors have operated a very successful holiday letting business from the property. The flexible and versatile layout makes it ideally suited to hosting guests and families, and it would also be well suited to a multigenerational family.
