Property description & features

This attractive stone house is a former pub that probably dates from the late 1700s . It is built of local limestone and originally had a thatched roof but now sits under clay tiles. The accommodation is set over two floors and boasts many period features including an inglenook, beams, window seats and even the parquet flooring. The house has been a family home since 1947 and now offers scope for a discerning purchaser to put their own stamp upon it.
The front door opens to the porch. A shower room / WC stands to one side. Beyond is a dining hall, with fire place and lovely views across the fields. A door leads through to the sitting room, which also has lovely views from the window with seat beneath. The inglenook with open fire makes a cosy focal point. A door leads through to a small lobby and then on to what may have been the pub cellar. It now a useful boiler cum utility room. The boiler is not currently in commission.

This leads down to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, with worksurfaces and inset sink. There is an electric hob and a pair of electric ovens. A hatch opens to the breakfast room, which is set adjacent, and enjoys a view over the front garden.
