Description - This charming and particularly spacious character home occupies a wonderful position on the outskirts of the village, enjoying a peaceful setting with beautiful private gardens, mature trees and lovely views across the surrounding open countryside.
Originally forming two separate cottages, the property has been brought together to create a versatile and unusually spacious home. The layout lends itself well to multi-generational living, offering plenty of room for a larger family while retaining a number of individual living areas that provide flexibility and privacy.
There is a real sense of character throughout, with a wealth of original features adding warmth and charm. The gardens are a particular highlight, being well established and private, with mature trees and attractive views towards the village church. The church itself is steeped in history, with the chancel believed to date back to around c1300, adding to the special atmosphere of this delightful setting.
On the ground floor, a garden room provides a welcoming entrance and leads through to the central hallway. From here, the accommodation opens into a superb kitchen/dining room, centred around a useful movable island and providing an excellent space for everyday family life and entertaining. There is also a separate utility room, a comfortable living room featuring an exposed stone fireplace and bread oven, together with a further sitting room and study. The study is another particularly characterful room, again benefiting from an exposed stone fireplace and bread oven. A useful porch provides access towards the parking area and garage.
Upstairs, a generous split-level galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedrooms one and four are particularly appealing, both enjoying lovely views across the surrounding open countryside. The first floor is completed by a generous four-piece family bathroom and a separate shower room.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The private established gardens provide a wonderful backdrop to the house, with mature trees, attractive planting and plenty of space to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There is a driveway providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles, depending on size, together with a garage.
With its fascinating history, wealth of original character, generous accommodation and wonderful private gardens, this is a home that offers something genuinely different. Its flexible layout makes it well suited to multi-generational living, while its position on the edge of the village provides a rare combination of countryside views, privacy and village character. A truly individual home which needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
