Set behind double electric gates on an in-and-out gravel drive, The Horseshoes is a striking Grade II listed 16th-century cottage offering substantial family accommodation and a self-contained one-bed annexe. Period features — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplace and leaded casements — give the house strong character while the triple-aspect kitchen and family room open to a paved terrace and large, mature gardens for outdoor living and entertaining.
The layout suits multigenerational or flexible living: four bedrooms (two with en-suites) across the main house plus a converted outbuilding annexe with kitchenette and shower room. A timber-framed listed barn and picturesque views over surrounding fields add rural charm and useful storage; an additional 1.84-acre paddock is available separately for purchasers needing more land.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and may require listed-building consent. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and drainage is private (septic), which may influence running costs and servicing. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location and council tax sits at the higher Band G level.
This is a semi-rural home for buyers prioritising character, space and privacy rather than turnkey modern connectivity. It will particularly appeal to families or those seeking annexe/guest accommodation and scope to manage or enhance period features within listed-building constraints.
