Description

Romans Halt, once three cottages, is a delightful Grade II listed character property of timber frame and painted brick elevations under a thatched roof and relieved by timber casement windows with diamond leading. The property has recently (February 2024) been completely rethatched and is understood to have been built in C16-C17, benefitting from an abundance of period charm and character throughout.

The house has excellent ground floor accommodation, with well-proportioned rooms throughout. Of particular note is the traditional and well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with lovely stone flooring which benefits from an Aga and plenty of built in cupboards for storage. The spacious reception room, which has an inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, provides a wonderful space to sit and relax and has doors leading through to the study and to the garden. Both the reception room and grand dining room offer wonderful space to entertain and enjoy a south facing aspect, giving a light and airy feel to the rear of the property. A cloakroom completes the downstairs.

Stairs lead from the reception room to the first floor where you find the substantial principal bedroom (with ensuite bathroom), which enjoys stunning views over the garden. There are two further good-sized double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom.

Annexe

The annexe is an ideal place for visitors to stay with two large double bedrooms and a well appointed bathroom. There is a large reception area and also a utility room. It makes for extremely useful additional accommodation and would also make a wonderful home office, should there be the need. There is also a large loft area offering excellent extra storage space.

Outside

There is off road parking at the end of garden accessed off Church Lane and the property sits on a plot of just under a third of an acre. The private garden is enclosed by trees and hedging and is mainly laid to lawn with colourful flower borders. It really is a gardeners paradise and there are raised beds for growing your own plants and vegetables. There's also a greenhouse and garden shed.

There is a brick paved patio area by the house perfect for alfresco dining and a path leading down to the annexe.
