4 bedroom detached house

THE PROPERTY Hookers Place is a charming Grade II Listed house dating from the 17th Century with early 19th Century and 20th Century additions. The house has plenty of character from the period ancestry including many exposed timbers, several inglenook fireplaces and vaulted bedrooms on the first floor. The drawing room has lovely proportions and is adjacent to the dining room which is perfect for entertaining especially as this opens to the kitchen. The sitting room is an ideal snug and links off the rear hall which is practical space for coming in from the garden or front drive. A large playroom/family room is well positioned at the back of the house interacting well with double doors opening onto the terrace and garden. Upstairs are four double bedrooms all with their own character and adjacent shower rooms or accessible washrooms. The main bedroom has a walk in dressing cupboard off a generous en suite bath/shower room. Planning permission was granted (under EHDC reference 21602/004 & 21602/005) for an extension over the garage providing additional bedroom space, this was locked in as work under that consent has been started but the first floor not completed. A subsequent planning consent to convert the garage into additional accommodation suitable for an annexe has also been granted under EHDC reference 21602/017. So there is scope to create a self contained suite or annexe if required. 

LOCATION Hookers Place is well positioned in the heart of the village within the conservation area and with a private garden mainly to the rear.
