This substantial Grade II listed 16th‑Century detached home blends authentic Tudor character with roomy, flexible living — ideal for growing families wanting space and history. Original features such as exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, latch doors and two impressive inglenook fireplaces give the principal reception rooms real period charm, while a dual‑aspect living room and separate dining room create distinct family and entertaining zones.
The kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining utility are well appointed with quartz and solid‑wood worktops, a Range cooker and double butler sink. Practical additions include a ground‑floor bedroom and shower room for accessible living, a study for home working and an annexe with WC that suits an office, studio or workshop. Outside, almost half an acre of mature, private gardens, a patio for al fresco dining, an outdoor pool, gravel driveway and detached garage deliver significant outdoor and parking space.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building: any alteration or extension will require listed‑building consent and can add time and cost. The house is of solid brick construction with no modern cavity insulation (assumed) and heating runs from an LPG boiler and radiators, which can be more expensive than mains gas. Broadband speeds are very slow locally and council tax is high (Band F), factors to consider for remote working and running costs.
Overall this is a rare, characterful home offering privacy, generous grounds and flexible accommodation. It will suit buyers who value historic detail and are prepared for the practical realities of owning a listed, solid‑walled period property.
