The Property
This is a fine Grade II Listed house believed to date from the
late 16th Century with later additions. It displays much of
the period character one would hope for including exposed
heavy wall and ceiling timbers, large fireplaces, period doors
and whilst having been maintained over the years, it has been
done in a gentle manner giving an almost untouched feeling.

leading past the barn and around a planted area to a generous
parking space beside the garage. There are areas of planting
close to the house whilst to the rear is the main grassed
garden backing onto a rolling landscape. Overall the property
is set within 1.2ac.

Mains water, drainage and electricity are connected. Oil fired
central heating.
