Bennets House is an impressive Grade II listed 16th Century village property enjoying a pleasant central location within walking distance of all the village amenities.

The house affords extensive and versatile accommodation that combines a huge depth of character and period charm. There is an impressive entrance hall which has some finely carved and moulded timbers from where the stairs rise to a galleried landing. Of particular note is the principal reception room which benefits from impressively high ceilings and a magnificent oak frame which displays carving detail and takes in views to Falcon Square. From here a square arch opens through to the dining room which provides cosy formal entertaining space and benefits from exposed oak framework to the ceilings and the kitchen can be directly accessed from here via the conservatory which further adds to the flexibility. There is a further reception room which is currently utilised as a snug but would make a perfect study for those that needed it. This room benefits from an attractive red brick fireplace and has a second set of stairs rising to the first floor. The kitchen is situated to the rear of the property and is fitted with a range of painted units with granite work surfaces and has a cream range cooker within an attractive tiled recess. The conservatory links the dining room and kitchen and provides further informal entertaining space and has a door leading to the rear garden.

The first floor is equally impressive with a large galleried landing which once more displays some magnificent period features and some impressive oak framework. The principal bedroom is accessed directly from here and is a simply stunning room with a vaulted ceiling and has a fine oak frame on display throughout with further period detailing to include Mullion windows. Steps then descend to a dressing area with built in wardrobes and a solid oak door accesses a well-appointed en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms on this floor one of which is situated to the rear of the property taking in fine roofline views and of the Castle to the rear and again this has a fantastic heavy oak frame and part vaulted ceiling. The two other bedrooms are both served by an en-suite Jack and Jill shower room and there is a further cloak/shower room to the ground floor which enhances the versatility of the accommodation on offer.

Outside

The property has a delightful rear garden which is directly accessed from the conservatory, adjacent to which is a decked entertaining terrace. Beyond this is a large expanse of lawn split by a paved pathway, with neatly tended flowerbeds along the edges. A tall bark-clad fence provides a high level of privacy. Towards the rear of the garden, a water feature runs beneath a wooden bridge leading to a storage shed, and a further decked terrace.
