Set on a private pedestrian path and coming to the market for the first time in 30 years, The Court House is a wonderful period property in an elevated position in the heart of the village. Offering over 2200 square feet of accommodation, the property is arranged over three floors providing versatile living.

Once the old court room, the main reception space welcomes you into the home and is focussed around the fireplace with wood burning stove. Adjacent is the formal dining room with dual aspect windows overlooking the rear gardens. The real heart of the home is the open plan kitchen/breakfast room. This room is flooded with natural light and there is ample space for a large dining table and a seating area to one end, making this the ideal space for family gatherings or entertaining, as double doors open out to the patio are and garden beyond.

To the lower level you will find a second reception room, shower room and a utility/boot room. This space is perfect for when guests come to stay or an extra living space for older children to enjoy. The reception room could easily be utilised as a fifth bedroom. A door opens to the veranda, a covered seating area with delightful views over the garden and the village beyond.

To the first floor are four double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from having its own ensuite shower room. The other bedrooms are served by the well-appointed family bathroom.

The rear garden is spectacular and offers a variety of space to sit and enjoy. Within the garden you will find an array of specimen trees, plants, shrubs and flowers which provide interest and colour throughout the year. Paths meander through the garden, so that all levels are accessible and to the lower level is access to the chalk stream, perfect for dipping your feet or for a dog to enjoy a paddle.
