Dell House dates from 1708 with later additions and retains much of its original character with period features including exposed beams and handsome fireplaces.

A delightful sitting room overlooks the frontage with a magnificent inglenook fireplace, while a formal dining/family room lies adjacent, with a further inglenook fireplace. The farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room provides a lovely family space, with a gas Aga and ample room for a large table. Just off the kitchen is a generous utility room with plenty of storage and leads through to a quietly situated study.
The first floor offers generous and characterful bedroom accommodation, with the principal bedroom having a range of fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom and superb distant views. The remaining four double bedrooms are all of a good size, two with built in wardrobes and served by a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms gives access to a spacious loft.
Outside
The gardens of Dell House wrap around the property and are an absolute delight. The beautiful rear garden is set in a dell, landscaped with tiered, planted banks and woodland on the boundaries providing a secluded and private setting. The garden enjoys a large area of lawn with flower beds, meandering pathways and steps leading to elevated seating spots to take full advantage of the views. To the side is a wonderful vintage greenhouse and a lovely terrace area adjoins the house giving an ideal place to enjoy the garden.
In addition is an adjacent plot of land of about an acre, accessed from the front garden, with superb elevated rural distant view. The land is set over two levels with an area of woodland to the side. There is a vegetable/fruit cage and a variety of mature fruit trees including apple, pear, damson and greengage. On the top level, which was originally a grass tennis court, is a charming pavilion/summer house. Dell House is approached from a country lane on to a gravelled driveway with parking for several vehicles and leads to a large garage, with both a wood store and workshop area.
