House For Sale £595,000
Originally thought to have been a row of individual cottages tied with the Lexham Estate, this extensive property has been carefully combined over time to create a spacious, four bedroom family home with yet further scope for extension within the existing footprint and beyond, subject to the necessary consents.
What's more, Noel House boasts a unique and fascinating history, which dates back to the early 19th century when it served as the Red Lion public house until 1936. More recently, part of the property served as the village post office and store until the 1990s, further cementing its importance within the local community.
Noel House boasts a charming façade, which perfectly complements a range of period features, including lofty ceilings, beautiful fireplaces, and exposed timbers. The interior has been thoughtfully renovated in recent years, affording the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary styling, whilst enjoying an excellent degree of versatility.
The ground floor comprises a large and welcoming entrance hall, leading to a generously sized sitting room, featuring an open fireplace inset with a newly installed wood-burning stove. The wonderful snug has double doors opening onto the garden and the stunning views beyond.
A modern kitchen enjoys plenty of space to whip up a multitude of culinary delights, open-plan with a spacious dining area with a charming fireplace. There's also a separate dining room - perfect for hosting family dinners, but also for a range of other uses to suit! The afore-mentioned rooms are complemented by a utility/boot room and a cloakroom with WC.
Completing the ground floor is the 'annexe' room – some attention and further renovation are required to finally turn this room into its intended purpose. However, installation of a shower room has begun and it is a great project to continue for those wishing to put their own stamp on a property.
The upper floor is equally impressive, with four, well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering plenty of natural light and beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom further benefits from built-in storage. The first floor is well-served by a recently re-fitted bathroom.
Outside, Noel House is set within landscaped gardens which offer the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining while enjoying those stunning views over the river Nar valley to the rear and beyond!
To one side, the five-bar gate leads to the spacious, shingled driveway, where convenient access to the home is provided via the utility/boot room.
Overall, Noel House presents a rare opportunity to own a truly special home within a delightful village location.
