Set within the former hamlet of Drayton, this 18th-century Grade II listed home combines robust period character with generous living space. The house extends to approximately 2,311 sq ft across two main storeys plus attic, offering four bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms — well suited to a growing family seeking charm and room to spread out.
Notable period features include an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and flagstone floors, and a superb farmhouse-style kitchen. The layout is versatile but unconventional: three staircases and interconnecting rooms provide separate living zones, home-office potential, and dedicated family space. A single garage and on-site parking are practical pluses for everyday life.
Outside the property benefits from a mature, private rear garden extending around 190ft — a rare and valuable asset for family gardening, play and entertaining. The setting is peaceful, in an affluent area with very low crime and good nearby schools. There is no flood risk and broadband speeds are fast.
Buyers should note material restrictions: the Grade II listing will affect alterations, repairs and extensions and may complicate some modernisation or reconfiguration plans. EPC information is not available, and council tax is described as expensive. The property’s quirky internal plan may suit some buyers but could need careful adaptation for accessibility or contemporary open-plan living.
