A Beautifully Restored 18th-Century Property with Stunning Grounds and Unique Features
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Knapton, this enchanting 325-year-old home blends rich period character with thoughtful modern enhancements. Lovingly restored and extensively updated by its current owners, the property offers an exceptional combination of charm, space, and functionality — ideal for family life, entertaining, or retreat.
Built circa 1700, the house has been sympathetically extended to include a vaulted “swing room” and a light-filled conservatory.
Inside, the home has been extensively refurbished, with works including internal wall rebuilds, rewiring, new plumbing, insulation, a new patio, and more — all designed to ensure structural integrity, energy efficiency, and day-to-day comfort.
There are three generous double bedrooms, plus a cleverly designed fourth bedroom with a queen-size mezzanine bed, integrated stairs, and space for a pull-out — perfect for guests or older children.
Modern comforts include:
•Underfloor heating in the kitchen and swing room
•Mains gas and sewage (rare for Knapton)
•Privately owned solar panels
•Excellent double glazing and full loft insulation
•A newly installed boiler and pipework (7 years ago, fully documented)
The character-filled kitchen features Indian flagstone flooring, a solid granite-topped island, and a sealed (but functional) chimney.
The cosy front sitting room offers a working open fire — a perfect snug for winter evenings — while solid oak wide-board flooring runs throughout the hallway, music room, and swing room.
The vaulted swing room, with its ultra-efficient argon-filled glazing (0.8 insulation rating), offers a stunning, versatile space for living or entertaining.
Outside, you’ll find a 0.4-acre fully enclosed garden backing onto open fields, with sea views from the rear skylight. The shed and outbuildings all have power.
A haven for nature-lovers, the garden features apple, cherry, plum, elder, and bay trees, a small pond, wildflower zones for bees, and established planting throughout. There is also rear gate access to open countryside — ideal for walking or exploring.
The roof has been re-battened and capped, and spare tiles have been purchased for future peace of mind.
