Description
A period unlisted residence of notable charm and character set in a delightful rural setting. The property is believed to date back to 16th Century, formerly serving as the village public house and hat makers. The property boasts a wealth of character and versatile accommodation including a self-contained annexe. Furthermore it enjoys a generous mature plot of approximately 1.46 acres. NO UPWARD CHAIN.
ACCOMMODATION
The house retains a wealth of period features, including exposed timbers, original fireplaces and an unmistakable sense of history, all of which have been carefully balanced with a more contemporary style of living.
The ground floor unfolds into a series of inviting reception rooms, each with its own character and outlook. The principal sitting room, centred around an inglenook fireplace provides a wonderfully atmospheric space, while the music room, dining room and study offer both intimacy and flexibility. The kitchen/breakfast room offers a warm and welcoming living space suited to everyday life and informal entertaining with a utility room adjoining.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are arranged around a generous landing. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring an en suite bathroom, dressing area and French doors opening onto a private balcony, from which to enjoy uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. A second bedroom benefits from its own en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
A notable feature is the vaulted family room, bathed in natural light and offering a highly adaptable space—equally suited as a studio, playroom or retreat.
THE ANNEXE
Incorporated within the main house yet entirely self-contained is the annexe providing a comfortable and independent living space, comprising a kitchen, sitting room, double bedroom and bathroom. It lends itself perfectly to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or as a discreet source of additional income.
OUTSIDE
Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, the property reveals itself gradually, framed by mature trees and established planting. Ample parking is provided, along with a substantial detached garage.
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.46 acres and are a particular feature of the property—informal, well-established and beautifully secluded. Expanses of lawn are interwoven with mature trees, flowering borders and areas of kitchen garden, while a greenhouse sits quietly within the grounds. Throughout, there is a strong sense of seasonality and a feeling of having stepped into a private and enduring landscape.
