South-facing and tucked away in a quiet courtyard within a particularly desirable conservation setting, the property opens into a stunning double-height living kitchen, featuring an exposed cruck from which the property takes its name.

The kitchen wraps around a central island and incorporates a generous dining area, with double doors opening directly onto the garden, creating an excellent indoor-outdoor space for entertaining during the warmer months. An integrated Bluetooth audio system further enhances the contemporary specification.

Converted to an exceptional specification, with considerable attention to detail, the property combines period features with modern luxuries, including a sophisticated electric air-source heating system and wet underfloor heating.
Outside, there is a fully landscaped rear garden, with an attractive backdrop of an old manor house, courtyard parking and a double garage with a separate utility room.
