The Property:
Nestled in the heart of a most desirable setting is this impressive, detached family home which provides spacious accommodation of just over 2,600 sq.ft. It features a separate detached barn annexe providing an additional 600sq.ft, which would be ideal as accommodation for an extended member of the family, nanny or even a working from home space. The property has 16th Century origins and is reputedly one of the oldest dwellings within the village and one that is packed full of character, with exposed beams, wooden floors, and attractive fireplaces. The house was extended in 2011, creating a lovely 'live in' style kitchen/dining/sitting room which spans the back of the house and opens into the garden; it is ideal for both everyday family living as well as entertaining. The handmade kitchen has been well planned and has a range of fitted base units with quartz worksurfaces, a two oven Aga and separate electric two oven cooker and gas hob, as well as a centralised island unit and breakfast bar. There are three further reception spaces including a sitting room, drawing room and the reception hall. The first floor has a principal bedroom en-suite which is dual aspect and has its own roof terrace looking over the garden. Three further bedrooms are served by a bathroom and the second bedroom has a WC and basin en-suite. The Grade II listed self-contained barn has been sympathetically converted to provide a wonderful one-bedroom annexe with a sitting room, kitchen and shower room to the ground floor with a galleried bedroom to the first. The stunning gardens are largely south facing with a pretty terrace and large lawn, mature trees and are partly walled. A pair of gates open on to a gravelled driveway which provides access to an open fronted barn enabling parking for two cars as well as additional off-road parking.
