Description

Dating back to the 17th century and held within the same family since 1921, this charming and characterful home blends historic features with a more modern extension, offering flexible living accommodation and beautiful field views to both the front and rear.
The property is arranged in two distinct sections: the original period home and a later extension, which provides additional contemporary living space. The house benefits from oil-fired central heating and a mix of double glazing, with the newer section featuring wooden double-glazed windows.
The original part of the house is full of character, featuring exposed beams and traditional fireplaces. There are two reception rooms, both with open fires, one of which has French doors opening onto the garden. A ground-floor bedroom with two windows provides flexibility for guests or those seeking single-level living.
The older section also includes two kitchen areas. One provides space for a cooker and seating area, while the other offers space for a fridge/freezer, plumbing for a washing machine, and additional cooking facilities. A family bathroom on the ground floor is fitted with a shower, WC and wash basin.
The newer extension adds bright and practical living space. The kitchen/dining room features a double oven, space for under-counter fridge and freezer appliances, and a full-height window allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
Adjacent to this is a spacious lounge with a log burner, complemented by a floor-to-ceiling window and direct access to the garden, creating a welcoming space for relaxing or entertaining.
Upstairs in the older part of the property are two bedrooms along with a large versatile space that could be used for a variety of purposes such as a home office, hobby room or additional bedroom area.
The first floor of the newer section comprises two generous double bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms and feature windows, with one also benefiting from built-in wardrobes.
Outside, the property is surrounded by mature gardens, with established trees and shrubs providing a peaceful setting. There is also an attractive covered patio area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The property benefits from parking for multiple vehicles.
While the newer extension provides modern, ready-to-use accommodation, the original part of the house would benefit from updating and modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity for a new owner to enhance and personalise this historic home while retaining its many period features.
