About this property

A period home set within just over 6.7 acres of gardens and woodland, offering a high degree of privacy and a lovely sense of seclusion, all within walking distance of the village pub and local primary school.

A period home believed to have 18th-century origins, later extended and adapted over time. The house has grown in a way that feels natural, resulting in a layout that flows easily, while still retaining a strong sense of its history. Original features remain, sitting comfortably alongside more recent additions. Set within just over 6.7 acres, the property sits quietly tucked away, surrounded by a mix of gardens and established woodland. Each room looks out onto greenery, whether lawn, trees or more open countryside beyond, which gives the house a consistent sense of connection to its setting. It’s a home that feels both private and relaxed, well suited to day-to-day living as much as it is to enjoying the space around it.

The house opens into a welcoming entrance hall where exposed beams and warm timber finishes immediately set the feel for the rest of the home. The layout is easy and well balanced, with a mix of more formal rooms alongside spaces that work well for everyday living. The drawing room is a comfortable, inviting space centred around a fireplace, while the dining room has a slightly more traditional feel, well suited to longer meals and gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast/family room sits at the rear of the house and works well as a sociable, everyday space. There is plenty of room for both cooking and sitting, with views out over the gardens that bring in a good amount of natural light throughout the day. It connects naturally to a more relaxed family area, which helps the space feel open without losing definition. Elsewhere, a separate study provides a quieter spot, ideal for working from home or reading.

Upstairs, the bedrooms continue the same calm andcomfortable feel. The principal suite is well proportioned, with space for a dressing area and an en suite, and enjoys particularly nice views over the surrounding gardens and woodland. The remaining bedrooms are all of a good size and offer flexibility depending on how they are used, each with its own outlook. Across the house, there’s a consistent sense of connection to the outside, with greenery visible from every room.

There are several useful outbuildings, including a double garage with studio above, an open-fronted three-bay car barn and an additional garage/workshop, providing flexibility for storage, hobbies or home working.

Surrounded by open countryside, the area offers excellent opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits, with a strong sense of community, and still within easy reach of nearby towns and transport links.
