Description
St. Marys house, is an attractive timber framed village house which dates in part to the 15th century, with various additions in the 16th, 18th & 19th centuries. The house has been thoughtfully laid out, with the accommodation arranged over three storeys, combining traditional architecture and contemporary features creating a sophisticated family home.
The property occupies a prominent position within the villages, and is steeped in history, with a suggestion that it may have been built as a market hall for the Abbot of Westminster, and then converted to domestic use after the dissolution.
St. Marys house enjoys plastered elevations under a handmade red plain tile roof, with an attractive symmetrical design and a gabled middle bay, adding architectural interest.
The property features a distinctive entrance, accessed through a portico and an entrance door with a fan light, leading into an impressive vaulted reception hall. Within the glass threshold, historical items related to the house's past are displayed. Off the hall, there are two reception rooms: a dining room with an attractive Victorian fireplace and early 19th-century fitted cupboards, as well as a dual-aspect sitting room boasting a beautiful Adam Style fireplace along with an 18th-century alcove and corner cupboard. Towards the rear of the house, a spacious vaulted kitchen/dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining, with access to the veranda garden. Additionally, there is a ground-floor cloakroom.
To the first floor, an elegant early 19th-century staircase with scrolled tread-ends and a turned newel post with an acorn finial leads to the principle suite.
