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.

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
