About this property

A charming Grade II listed four/five bedroom detached stone house with an attractive walled garden and situated on the popular village green.

A rare opportunity to purchase an attractive Grade
II listed family home, believed to have 17th-century
origins, overlooking the village green with an attractive walled garden. The accommodation is arranged over three floors. Thought originally to have been the Manor coachman’s cottage, the stable is incorporated into the house along with the former barn to the rear.

A central four panel oak door beneath a canopy porch opens to the hallway with ceramic tiled floor, giving access to the cellar, the reception rooms to each side and an external door to the rear terrace and gardens. Latched doors open to each room. The sitting room features exposed stone walls, exposed ceiling timbers and a fireplace with log burner. The adjacent dining room has an exposed ceiling beam, bookcase, window seat and fireplace. A further family room features an inglenook fireplace, exposed ceiling beam, window seat and stairs rising to the upper floors. The kitchen/
breakfast room has a ceramic tiled floor and is fitted with a range of hand-built wooden units with Corian worktops. There is space for domestic appliances including a Range cooker. A door leads to the garden. The adjacent utility room provides a range of matching storage units with space and plumbing for washing machine and drier. On the upper floors there are four/five generous bedrooms; three to the first floor and two on the second floor. The first floor of the cottage retains its original elm floorboards. The principal bedroom leads to a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom with tiled floor and white suite including a separate shower. A family bathroom, also with a white suite, serves the remaining bedrooms. The second floor is divided into two interconnecting rooms, each with vaulted ceiling.
