A distinctive Grade II listed residence dating from 1842, later extended to create a spacious and character-filled home, set within beautifully arranged gardens of approx. 0.45 acres.
Originally established as an Almshouse in 1611, this appealing property blends historic charm with modern comfort. Constructed of brick with a rendered and painted frontage beneath a tiled roof, the house features dormer windows, traditional casements and an inviting gabled entrance. The property benefits from gas central heating and far-reaching views across surrounding countryside.
Inside, a sheltered entrance leads into a welcoming hall. The family lounge offers a cosy atmosphere with a wood-burning stove set within a fireplace, complemented by built-in storage, there is also another snug / reading room. A generous inner hallway with stone flooring provides access to the rear porch and opens into the kitchen/breakfast space.
The kitchen is well-appointed with timber worktops, fitted cabinetry, integrated dishwasher, a Rangemaster cooker and extractor, along with slate flooring and underfloor heating. A walk-in pantry adds practicality, and there is direct access to the garden. Additional ground floor spaces include a cloakroom and a utility room with laundry facilities and boiler.
Upstairs, the landing leads to a bright principal bedroom with dual outlook, fitted storage and an en suite shower room. Three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath with shower attachment, wash basin and WC.
The gardens are a standout feature, thoughtfully landscaped with lawns, mature trees, shrubs, roses and seasonal planting. Meandering gravel paths and multiple seating terraces provide excellent areas for relaxation and entertaining.
Outbuildings include several timber stores, a workshop, greenhouse and log store, along with a former brick privy now fitted with WC and basin. The grounds are enclosed by hedging, offering a good level of privacy.
