Description
Nestled in the peaceful village of Radnage, and surrounded by countryside, this enchanting Grade II listed property has been a much loved family home for over 30 years. This timber framed building is believed to date from the 17th Century and retains much of its original charm and character with an array of period features including exposed beams and brickwork, flagstone flooring and wooden staircases. The house is set in about 4.5 acres with delightful gardens, paddocks, stabling and outbuildings.

The sitting room, with a handsome brick inglenook fireplace and wood burner, extends into a snug area, with access to the cellar and French doors to the garden. A hallway from the dining room leads to a large, well equipped utility room and through to the kitchen/breakfast room, a dual aspect room overlooking the garden and with space for a large table. The kitchen is bespoke fitted with an excellent range of units, complemented by granite worktops with integrated appliances and an oil fired AGA. A central island gives further storage and incorporates a breakfast bar. A staircase from this room leads up to a bedroom with an en suite bathroom, ideal for an au pair or as an ideal retreat for guests. On the first floor are three characterful double bedrooms, one with a staircase to the snug downstairs. All of the bedrooms enjoy views over the paddocks and countryside beyond and are served by a charming bathroom, featuring a claw foot bath. The principal bedroom suite is situated on the top floor, enjoying a dressing room and adjacent wet room.
