A character yet homely, well-proportioned Grade II Listed Jacobean country home dating from 1631, sitting opposite a picturesque village green in Little Humby and set within approximately 2.67 acres. Steeped in character with exposed oak beams, stone mullion windows and York stone floors, the property benefits from both coach house parking to the front and a rear driveway giving access to its own stabling and paddock, together with a substantial detached two-storey stone barn which previously had planning permission for conversion to a two-bedroom annexe (since lapsed).

The property is steeped in character throughout, with well-proportioned and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor includes an oak-panelled dining room, drawing room, farmhouse-style breakfast room and kitchen with Aga and adjoining pantry, together with a study and useful ancillary accommodation.

To the first floor is the principal bedroom with adjoining bathroom, together with a guest bedroom suite. The second floor provides two further bedrooms and bathroom facilities, while an additional ground-floor bedroom with its own bathroom and garden access offers excellent flexibility for guests or family.

Outside, the property sits within approximately 2.67 acres, with the house and gardens occupying approximately 0.5 acres and the paddocks extending to approximately 2 acres, together with formal gardens, an established orchard and natural pond. A rear driveway leads through to the equestrian facilities, including three stables, tack store and hay store.

A substantial detached two-storey stone barn provides additional space, currently arranged with a games/garden room and storage above. The barn previously had planning consent for conversion to a two-bedroom annexe, which has since lapsed, offering an exciting opportunity for a future owner to explore again, subject to the necessary consents.
