Description
This is a fine example of a Grade II listed Medieval house dating from around 1500 and believed to have been extended around a hundred years later. It is set adjacent to a busy road and has no parking although this can be found in close by residential roads. The property abounds with period charm and character, offering a wealth of features including a superb inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and uprights, exposed brickwork and stone and more. It is thought it was originally the kitchen house for the manor, which explains the large fireplace. Please note there are low ceiling throughout most of the property.

There are two further bedrooms plus a modern bathroom with a white suite of wc, washbasin and a bath with mixer taps and shower attachment.
Outside, the rear garden is a truly delightful feature of the property. It is westerly in aspect with a large area of lawn bordered by mature planting and hedging. There is a patio area across the rear of the house and side access leading to the front. There is a very useful separate outbuilding that offers a variety of potential uses including a home office, utility room, workshop or simply a 'garden room'. There is a 'gardeners wc' attached.
