Welcome to a truly magnificent and enchanting thatched residence, believed to have origins dating back to the late 1600s.

Immerse yourself in a world of unparalleled craftsmanship, where impeccable joinery and meticulous attention to detail adorn every corner of this extraordinary dwelling, boasting impressive ceiling heights on both floors.

Beyond its rich history and idyllic location, this exceptional property presents additional versatile spaces. The recently converted triple garage now serves as a superb studio, with the potential to be transformed into an annex or a comfortable home office setup (subject to the neccessary consents). Each corner of this residence exudes character and charm, from the sweeping driveway accessed through a picturesque 5-bar gate, to the Tudor cottage-style entrance porch leading to a terra cotta tiled lobby. Step into the main living quarters and be captivated by an east and south-facing study boasting garden views and ample workspace. The expansive primary lounge offers an inviting atmosphere with its inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, and hardwood casement windows framing peaceful vistas of the gardens. Delight in the impressive dining room, complete with a second inglenook fireplace, restored bread oven, and a cozy wood-burning stove. The dining area effortlessly flows into a semi-open kitchen space featuring an Everhot stove, a range of cupboards and drawers, and an additional utility room offering convenient access to the front of the property.

Ascend to the upper level and discover three magnificent bedrooms, each with its own unique allure. The master bedroom is a truly enchanting vaulted suite, adorned with an exposed beam wall, stunning hardwood flooring, and an elegant en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom currently functions as an annex-style suite, boasting a lounge area, bedroom space, and a private en-suite bathroom.

The loft space has been thoughtfully configured to provide exquisite storage, with future potential for conversion into additional usable space (subject to necessary permissions).
