PROPERTY DETAILS

Offered chain-free, a stunning detached Grade II listed house dating back to the 17th century, presented in immaculate condition throughout. Originally two cottages, the property has been sympathetically extended and refurbished to the very highest standard, retaining a wealth of original features while offering the comfort and finish of a modern home. Rarely does a period property of this age come to the market in such exceptional order.

The house is approached via an entrance porch leading into a welcoming reception area. From here, two beautiful reception rooms can be found, both boasting impressive inglenook fireplaces with wood-burning stoves, exposed timber beams and solid wood floors. Each reception room also features its own staircase leading to the first floor, enhancing the property’s unique charm.

The heart of the home is the bright and spacious kitchen/dining room, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, solid wood work surfaces, inset sink with mixer tap and drainer, four-ring induction hob, oven, extractor and integrated dishwasher, with further space for an American-style fridge/freezer. The room is finished with solid oak flooring and a striking exposed brick wall, and enjoys direct access to both the rear garden and a side kitchen garden. A well-planned utility room complements this space, complete with additional cabinetry, solid wood work surfaces, inset sink, integrated washer/dryer and wall-mounted boiler. The ground floor bathroom has been luxuriously refitted with a walk-in shower, contemporary freestanding bath, vanity basin and low-level WC, all enhanced by stylish matt black fittings, quality tiling and a heated towel rail.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three double bedrooms, each presented to the same flawless standard. All rooms enjoy vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and original wide oak floorboards, creating a sense of history blended with understated elegance. Bedroom one is accessed via stairs from the sitting room, while bedrooms two and three are reached by stairs from the family room.

Outside, the property sits within generous mature gardens of approximately 0.28 acres, which include the former village green, once the site of a medieval market. A gravel driveway provides parking for at least two vehicles and leads to a garage with up-and-over door. The expansive front garden is mainly laid to lawn with raised beds, and newly planted laurel hedging will in time provide complete enclosure. A flint wall with wrought iron gate leads to the side and rear gardens, which are beautifully laid out with lawns, well-stocked beds, mature shrubs, specimen and fruit trees. A paved terrace offers the perfect setting for alfresco dining, while a further southerly terrace kitchen garden provides an ideal spot for growing herbs and vegetables.

Set back from a peaceful no-through road, yet only a short stroll from the heart of the village, this is a rare chance to acquire a Grade II listed home of such age and character in truly immaculate condition.
