An attractive Grade II listed house, tucked away within this well-regarded village, with views across to the church.


Tucked away in a private setting overlooking the village church, St Peters Guildhall is an attractive Grade II listed house, believed to date back to the late 15th century as Hall of the Guild of St Peter, subsequently converted into 12 almshouses in the 16th-century.

The property was subsequently restored as two houses in early 1960's, and thankfully many original features remain, from the exceptional timber-frame and inglenook fireplaces to original floors and ornate late 17th-century floral plaster designs, reset in the outer wall.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, extending to around 1,500ft2, comprising reception/dining hall, enjoying a double aspect, open fireplace, tiled floors and staircase to the first-floor/bedroom 2 with en suite WC. The sitting room is an elegant space, with heavily timbered ceiling with good height, large inglenook with bressummer and wood burning stove and tiled floors.

The traditional Aga kitchen with wood-fronted base and eye level units, with access to the garden, pamment floors, second staircase to the first floor and enjoys a double aspect.

On the first floor is a large landing area with exposed floorboards, a double aspect principal bedroom with bedroom 3 and the family bathroom, with panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and low level WC.
