The Dwelling
A handsome and particularly charming Grade II Listed village house, believed to date from 1672, offering beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors and combining considerable historic character with an inviting, atmospheric feel.

Constructed of attractive local stone beneath a pitched tiled roof with overhanging gables and brick end chimney stacks, the property is set over two storeys to the principal elevations and retains a wealth of period detailing. These include traditional fenestration with leaded casement windows and stone dressings, all contributing to the building’s enduring architectural interest and presence within the street scene.

The property is further enriched by a host of retained features, with exposed beams, timber panelling, window seats and fine inglenook fireplaces, which together create a warm and characterful family home of rare appeal.

It occupies an enviable position within village and is approached through a delightful front garden, thoughtfully enclosed by mature hedging and established planting, affording a good degree of privacy while providing an attractive and welcoming first impression.

Accommodation
The accommodation is centred around an entrance hall and comprises two substantial reception rooms, each displaying a wealth of character. The principal living room is a particularly impressive space, featuring an inglenook fireplace and exposed timbers, whilst the second reception room offers excellent versatility as a formal dining room, family room or study. To the rear of the house is a fitted kitchen overlooking the garden, together with a useful cloakroom.

The first floor provides two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive outlooks and period detailing. These are served by a family bathroom, whilst a spacious landing creates an excellent additional seating or study area and enhances the sense of space throughout the house.

Occupying the second floor is a particularly generous principal bedroom suite, providing a private retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and adjoining wet room. The room benefits from a characterful atmosphere befitting a property of this period.

Throughout, the house has been sympathetically maintained, preserving its historic integrity whilst offering comfortable accommodation suited to modern family living. The combination of elegant proportions, original features and flexible accommodation creates a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished period home of significant character.
