Features and description
Are you after the WOW factor? Look no further, you've hit the jackpot. Dating back to the 15 century the home has evolved but retains a huge amount of character with many period features, comprising exposed beams, impressive inglenook fireplace, wonderful front door, mullioned windows, timber lintels and thatched roof. An extension was added to the rear of the home in the 1970's. A further extension has recently been added to afford ground floor living, an adapted 5th bedroom downstairs with a shower wet room.
In brief: through the wonderful period front door you enter the dining hall with stairs to the first floor and further doors to the living room and the kitchen diner. The living room is a wonderful space with exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and mullioned window with window seat. The kitchen diner has a well equipped kitchen area and a good size dining area. It has doors to the study, a stable door to the south facing rear garden and further door to the utility room. The utility room has a WC adjacent and further doors to the large garage and the adapted 5th bedroom with wet room. The wonderful garden can also be accessed from French doors in the 5th bedroom and from the study.
Upstairs the landing splits. To the left is the master bedroom, part of the extension from the 1970's, a nice and bright room with a large double glazed window to the south facing rear garden. It has built in wardrobes from wall to wall and a door to the ensuite shower room. To the right of the landing are 3 further double bedrooms and the family bathroom that has an eye catching copper bath with centre mounted taps and a separate shower cubicle that has complimentary copper fittings.
Externally the front of the home is on Main Street and is opposite the highly regarded Helyars Arms public house. A drive that can accommodate 2 cars leads to the large garage that is over 8m long and currently set up as a workshop. The front garden is stone patio with a dry stone wall with shrubbery. The rear garden is a great size and is south facing. It can be accessed from French doors in bedroom 5, the stable door in the kitchen or the study and there is also a ramp that runs along the side of the garage. As you exit the home there is an area of patio with steps to an elevated patio with lawn beyond. The lawn is complimented by borders, shrubs and small trees.
The thatched roof is scheduled to have its ridge replaced and the vendor has committed to paying for this. We are advised that it is thatched with straw which is approximately 15 years old, as such it should not need replacing for another 15 years.
The listing details for the home can be found on the Historic England website under the entry number 1057185.
