Property Description: Guide Price £900,000 - £950,000. This exceptional Grade II listed detached house, believed to date from the early to mid 16th century, is rich in charm, history and character and has been lovingly restored and meticulously maintained, showcasing a wealth of period features. The property has just over 3200 square foot of versatile internal accommodation set within approximately 0.75 acres of established grounds complemented by numerous outbuildings, making it an ideal family home for those seeking space, character and a vibrant community.

Upon entering, the ground floor immediately conveys a sense of history and grandeur, with period features evident throughout. Honey-oak beams, ornate plasterwork, sash windows, and original fireplaces create an atmosphere of timeless charm. The layout includes three beautifully appointed reception rooms; a spacious dual aspect living room, a light filled triple aspect sitting room, and a formal dining room, each featuring an original fireplace that serves as a focal point. These rooms provide ample space for both intimate family gatherings and larger entertaining. The country-style kitchen/breakfast room provides a practical and charming space for daily life, with ample storage and space for free standing appliances. Adjacent to this, a large separate utility room provides convenience, alongside a dedicated study for those working from home, and a ground floor cloakroom.

A well appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, featuring a classic roll-top bath and a separate shower, blending traditional aesthetics with modern functionality. The layout ensures privacy and comfort for all residents, with natural light enhancing the period features on both levels.
