House For Sale £895,000
This wonderful family home is believe to date back to the early 17th century with later additions and is Grade II listed as a building of architectural and historical importance. The house is built of mellow brick and part tile hung elevations under a tiled roof with diamond leaded light windows on the front elevation. It incorporates an inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam above and stone surround, oak doors with Sussex latches, and a wealth of exposed timbers and plaster infill panels.

The front door leads into a large entrance hall with space to hang coats and store shoes. The sitting room and study are located at the front of the home with views over the front lawn and pond. The kitchen, dining room and conservatory are at the rear of the home and offer an abundance of light and views over the rear garden. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room, giving access to the cellar, and a door out to the side of the house.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom has the added bonus of a large dressing room, plenty of storage and en suite bathroom. There is also a good sized bedroom and a family bathroom on this floor. On the second floor, two further good sized guest bedrooms complete the accommodation.
Outside, the property is approached via a gated entrance, leading to a double garage and large driveway and providing parking for several vehicles. A footpath leads to the front of the house, passing the beautiful sunken pond, to the front door.
