Set within almost an acre of landscaped grounds, this renovated 18th‑century former inn blends strong period character with modern comforts. Original oak beams, inglenook fireplaces, an oak‑panelled reception room and an 18th‑century brick floor give the house a distinctive historic feel, while the bespoke kitchen, underfloor heating in parts and newly built double garage provide contemporary convenience. The main bedroom’s private balcony, walk‑in wardrobe and en‑suite add a luxurious primary-suite experience.
Outdoor amenities are a major draw: a large terrace with countryside views, boules court, spa/gym building with sauna and jacuzzi, and a substantial lawn for family activities. The property also includes practical extras such as a 5,000‑litre stormwater tank, large wine cellar with brick arches, separate hobby/office room and extensive parking with two‑area driveway for easy reversing.
The layout is flexible for modern family life or home working, with multiple reception rooms, a conservatory over a historic well, five bedrooms (four doubles, two en‑suites) and multiple stairwells offering separated spaces. The spa/gym annexe could provide additional accommodation subject to planning, creating rental or multi‑generational options.
Practical considerations: the house has an EPC rating of E and some timber‑framed walls are assumed to lack insulation, so further retrofit or energy upgrades may be advisable. Council Tax is in a higher band and the property sits in a rural, affluent hamlet — ideal for buyers seeking privacy and character but requiring private transport for some amenities. Sold chain‑free and offered as freehold.
