Features and description

  • A Stunning Historic Home of Great Character
  • Set in 4 Acres of Formal Garden and Grounds
  • Beautifully Presented in Keeping with the Period
  • Potential for Extended Family Occupation
  • Popular Village Location
Swan House is a fine example of a Grade II listed, timber framed dwelling believed to date from the early 16th century, and substantially refurbished in 1628/29 (per dendrochronology) when it became a coaching inn. This beautiful historic dwelling has been completely and painstakingly refurbished by the present owners to preserve its historical integrity. It is dressed and furnished in keeping with the period against a back drop of remarkable original internal features including an imposing inglenook fireplace, timber frame structure, impressive beamed ceilings, beautiful lead glazed windows, and a two flight newel staircase with octagonal newel. The bespoke kitchen and bathrooms have been thoughtfully recreated with individually sourced furnishings that retain the character and ambience. The accommodation lends itself to extended family occupation. The house is enhanced by a delightful creatively designed knot garden with central fountain and attractive terraced courtyards. The remainder of the grounds comprise an orchard, a large semi wild paddock and a separate smallholding. It is a truly magical home, a window to the past that can only be fully appreciated by a personal visit.
