4 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare Grade II Tudor with large garden, garage and bright orangery breakfast room.
Grade II listed Tudor house with extensive period features
Set on a 0.27-acre plot in a quiet leafy turning, The Old House is a rare, Grade II listed Tudor-style detached home offering 2,494 sq ft of character-filled family living. High ceilings, exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a 29'6" kitchen breakfast room with orangery-style addition create bright, sociable ground-floor space for everyday family life and entertaining. The property sits back from the road with gated gravel parking and an oak-built double garage with attached storage shed.
Accommodation includes four double bedrooms, a main en-suite, and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath. Ground-floor layout comprises drawing room with log-burning stove, sitting room with original bread oven, dining room, utility and cloakroom. The sunny rear garden is mainly lawn with flagstone patio, mature box hedging, apple trees and a koi pond — a private outdoor setting for children and gardening enthusiasts.
Important considerations: this is a Grade II listed building, which restricts alterations and may complicate maintenance or extension work; buyers should allow for listed-consent processes and specialist repairs. The property is offered chain-free but is EPC exempt. Broadband speeds are reported slow — relevant for home working. Overall, the house has been lovingly refurbished over two decades but listed status means future works require care and cost planning.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial period residence in a very affluent, low-crime area close to good schools and country walks. It offers immediate charm and comfortable living, with scope to personalise within the constraints of its protected status.
