Description

Originally a pair of cottages, the house has evolved over time into a substantial single dwelling, extended sympathetically to reflect its origins. Owned by the same family for more than fifty years, it has been a much-loved home and retains a wealth of period character and traditional features including fireplaces, exposed ceiling timbers and wood floors.

The house offers spacious accommodation arranged over two floors, accessed via two staircases. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, principal sitting room with fireplace and parquet flooring, dining room with flagstone floor, large farmhouse style kitchen with Aga and bright breakfast area, conservatory, cloakroom, lower hall and a good boot room/utility and further WC. The upper floors provide six bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room. There is a large, partly boarded attic with a loft ladder and light.

OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds are an integral part of the property’s appeal, laid out with a generous terrace, lawns, formal raised beds and borders, mature hedging and shrubs, a swimming pool, a former kitchen garden and pasture beyond. A range of traditional outbuildings remains, including old poultry sheds, a lambing barn, stabling and garaging, reinforcing the property’s historic agricultural roots.

Beyond the gardens lies additional pasture land of approximately 5.34 acres with an agricultural barn. In total, three agricultural barns serve the holding, one positioned on land accessed from Panters Road and two within the curtilage of the farmhouse.
