The flexible layout includes five bedrooms, four reception rooms, a 22' kitchen/dining room and a garden room that overlooks mature landscaped gardens — ideal for family living or those craving period character. The property is chain-free and has generous off-street parking for many vehicles.
The interior retains strong historic features: exposed beams, stone walls, inglenook fireplaces and high vaulted bedroom ceilings. Recent thatching work has been carried out and two staircases allow separate living arrangements or easy conversion of ground-floor reception rooms to home-office space. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and local schools are rated Good, supporting family needs.
Buyers should note the house’s Grade II listed status — alterations, extensions or certain repairs will require consent and may add time and cost. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms and council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this is a well-maintained period home with significant character and a large garden, best suited to buyers who appreciate historic fabric and are comfortable with listed-property responsibilities.
