House For Sale £1,250,000
The Centuries, is an idyllic Grade II listed timber framed farmhouse, steeped in history. The house has evolved from a single building, one room deep, over the centuries to become the delightful home that it is today. Happily, much of the original fabric of the house remains and throughout the house there is evidence of this, most notably the exposed Cruck timbers which denote its heritage. Other features include original open hearth fireplaces and stained glass windows. The front door opens into a large reception hall which has an open hearth fireplace and is used as a formal dining area, perfectly positioned between the sitting room, kitchen and the garden room. The sitting room is a striking room with exposed beams and views onto both the front and rear garden and has a working fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted storage units with integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a large utility area which provides an access to the side of the house and one of the two staircases is found here which leads to three of the bedrooms and a bathroom. As is typical in houses of this antiquity, there is no first floor landing, so access to the two other bedrooms is either by a secondary staircase or through the bedroom located in the middle of the house. A further family bathroom serves these rooms. The property also comes with the benefit of a separate one bed annexe.
