Pittlesden Gatehouse, 91 High Street
A wonderful example of an ancient former gatehouse dating back to the 14th Century with a wealth of period features. The house has been well preserved with the addition of a rear extension thought to have been added in the 1500s.
Believed to be the only detached house along the high street, this makes this quite a rarity for it’s historic and architectural interest, with stunning front and rear elevations. The property is set over 2 floors and offers surprisingly spacious accommodation. On the ground floor is a spacious sitting room with feature inglenook fireplace and beautiful staircase, study area, dining room with open fireplace, kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke hand made units with wood worksurfaces, Aga oven and butler sink. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs to one end and doors to either side of the garden. Storage is not an issue with a large store to the side of the stairs and next to this is a cloakroom. There is also a separate utility room with space/plumbing for a washing machine.
The stairs are bespoke being wide and just a few steps up to the half landing area with vaulted beamed ceiling, which would make a great library/reading area. Further steps lead up to the first floor where the generous master bedroom has a cupboard, a w/c, walk in wardrobe and storage cupboards. There are 2 further double bedrooms both with built in cupboards/wardrobes and a family shower room with shower cubicle, w/c and pedestal wash basin. The rooms boast beams, latch doors and some wooden floorboards.

The property has been well maintained and early viewing is highly recommended.
