Description

**
Appleton village is the only village in England where the 'Bawming of the Thorn' ceremony takes place in June each year.

The thorn tree, which stands beside the church, is believed to be an offshoot of the Glastonbury thorn, which grew from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea. Adam de Dutton, a knight of the Crusades and local landowner, brought it to Appleton.

Bawming, which means, "decorating the tree with flowers and ribbons", takes place each year, whilst local children dance and sing the Bawming song.

It is from this traditional local ceremony that 'Bawn House' takes it's name.

This superb individually built and architecturally designed home has spacious accommodation arranged over three floors. To the first floor there is a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom/WC which leads to a formal lounge with feature fireplace, dining room, and a kitchen with separate utility room. Open to the kitchen there is a dining area and a cosy family room. Off the dining area there is another reception room which is currently used as a study.

To the first floor there is a usable landing space which leads to a fabulous master suite with dressing room and four piece en-suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor with a Jack'n'Jill en-suite between them, and also a family bathroom. To the second floor there are two bedrooms which run the full-length of the property and are complimented by a further bathroom.

Externally, there are lawned gardens to the front and rear with established borders and a long driveway provides ample off road parking and leads to a detached double garage.
