The Old Red Lion is a rare, characterful five-bedroom detached home sympathetically restored and extended from circa 1876. Period features — exposed timbers, brickwork and fireplaces — sit alongside high-quality modern finishes such as marble worktops, integrated appliances and contemporary travertine tiling.
Ground-floor living is generous and flexible: a large bespoke kitchen/family room with bi-folds and French doors, separate snug, sitting room, formal dining room, utility and a purpose-built cinema room. The master suite is luxuriously appointed with a concealed four-piece en-suite and a secret walk-in wardrobe; two further bedrooms have en-suite or Jack & Jill bathroom access.
Set in a substantial plot bordered by farmland, the grounds include a naturally filling pond, sweeping gated gravel driveway, double garage and useful outbuildings including a workshop and a powered bar cabin. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, no flood risk, fast broadband and very low local crime.
Considerations: the very large gardens and historic well require ongoing maintenance, and gravel drives and period fabric need occasional upkeep. Council tax is above average, mobile signal is only average, and the rural setting brings farmland views and the typical countryside noises and activity.
