Description

A four bedroom Grade II listed house and a detached self-contained studio set in established gardens comprising a substantial oak-framed gazebo (housing a pizza oven and bar) and being sold with no onward chain.

Dating back to the 14th century with alterations in the 16th century, Dragon House offers a wealth of original medieval features and provides a timber frame with plastered elevations under a clay tiled roof. On the first storey an area of attractive decorative pargetting is said to have been either a representation of Anne Boleyn with whom the house may have had connections, or the sign of an earlier inn.

The timber framing is partly exposed internally with the accommodation having been tastefully decorated in light tones. The property is entered from the front into a spacious dining hall with an attractive exposed red-brick wall. From here access can be gained to the principal reception room which is a spacious and formal room with a large inglenook fireplace and stairs leading to the upper level. To the rear of the property is a snug/study and an attractive kitchen fitted with marble worktops and a traditional range of wooden units. Beyond is a useful and atmospheric utility room.

To the upper level on this side of the house a spacious landing serves three well appointed bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower and a two-person spa bath. The principal bedroom is a stunning room which also leads to another area (with separate staircase from the kitchen) consisting of a shower room and a further possible three bedrooms/office/lounge area. This side includes a mezzanine level also leading to a spacious walk-in loft.

The studio is located to the western edge of the garden and offers a spacious bedroom, shower room and reception room of open-plan design leading to a kitchen.

The property is being sold with no onward chain and is currently operating as a successful Airbnb.

Outside
Externally, vehicular access can be gained via a cart entrance leading to a substantial gravel drive providing parking for four/five vehicles, opening to a cart lodge . The studio and house are separated by a sociable oak-framed gazebo with fitted bar providing a wonderful area for outside entertaining. The remainder of the garden has been laid to lawn with established tree, flower and shrub borders.

All in around 0.24 of an acre.

Services
All mains services connected.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
