Gloriously steeped in history, this charming village property is designated as of historic importance and, as such is both enhanced and protected by its Grade II* listing.
With its origins firmly placed at the turn of the C16th, and evolving through several periods of history, this delightful property has provided elegant shelter to one family for over ninety years and awaits a new 'caretaker' to commence the next chapter.
The beautifully proportioned rooms offer a plethora of traditional features set over three storeys.
From the High Street, a picket gate leads to a flagstone pathway, which in turn leads to the entrance door, above which a swathe of trailing wisteria adds charm and seasonal interest.
Once inside, doors from the entrance hall - complete with a gently curving wall - lead to the main reception rooms and stairwell.
The sitting room benefits from a charming triple aspect, with double doors opening onto the garden, and features an open fire with marble overmantel and surround. Painted timbers and window shutters add gentle reminders of the past.
The formal dining room - perhaps library - overlooks the High Street, complete with its own historic charm, and benefits from its own fireplace, with cast iron basket insert, painted stone mantle and slate hearth. A gently curving wall add to the ambience of this warm, inviting space.
The kitchen, larder and scullery work as a partnership, offering storage, space for food preparation and casual dining - while the AGA offers all that is good in a country home.
The staircase leads to the first-floor where it divides, with one side leading to the principal bedrooms and the other leading to the bathroom.
The principal bedrooms are both located at the front of the property, with elegant proportions, solid wood floors and their own open fireplaces. Both rooms benefit from a small, private washroom, complete with wash-hand basin.
The bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.
A further enclosed staircase leads to the second-floor bedroom replete with continued charm and gently sloping ceilings.
The glory of this delightful home lies in the gardens, which wrap two sides of the property and incorporate a combination of horticultural styles: albeit formal landscaping, lawn, pathways, planting, or just jolly good trees to climb! - keeping all family members happy in the outside space. But let us not forget the brook, which has carved its meandering way through this garden for hundreds of years and over that time delighted generation after generation.
