Character, character and more character – plus a wealth of retained original features, charm and history. This Grade II listed home dates back to 1612, the Stuart period, and provides extremely spacious and well-proportioned accommodation. It enjoys a lovely position adjacent to a small working dairy farm and has a good sized garden overlooking fields.

A further hall at the rear of the property has a timber door to the outside and doors to the remaining ground floor accommodation plus a useful under stairs cupboard/pantry. A door also leads to the stairs rising to the first floor.
The delightful sitting room could easily be used as a study, having an inset shelving unit and a window overlooking the garden.
Also overlooking the garden is a breakfast room which has a serving hatch to the fitted kitchen that has a range of base and eye level units with work surfaces and inset sink unit set below a window, space for an electric cooker plus plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer.

Original latch doors open to the four large bedrooms, each easily able to accommodate a double bed and further furniture, with exposed beams and views over the garden and surrounding farmland. The master bedroom has a further dressing room which could easily be used as a nursery depending on requirements.
Completing the accommodation is the fitted family bathroom which has a white period style suite incorporating a ball and claw bath with an electric shower and fitted glazed screen above plus complementary tiled splash backs.
