This substantial stone-built period house sits on the edge of Combs village and offers generous, characterful living space across two floors. Recent sympathetic improvements have retained original features — oak beams, exposed stone, flagged floors and leaded windows — while introducing practical modern touches such as new ground-floor flooring, a cottage-style kitchen and media walls. The layout includes four reception rooms, a home office and a large master suite with dressing room, ensuite and balcony overlooking open fields.
Externally the plot is very large and mature, with lawned areas on three sides, a meandering stream with stone bridges, a sweeping driveway providing multiple off-road parking spaces and a detached double garage. The setting backs onto open countryside, delivering privacy and rural outlooks popular with village buyers and families seeking space and character.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, glazing was fitted before 2002 and the original sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated — all factors that may affect running costs and future improvement budgets. Council tax is described as quite expensive. While there is no recorded flood risk, the on-site stream will require ongoing maintenance and inspection.
Ideal for buyers wanting a generous, character property in an affluent rural village, the house offers immediate comfort with scope for further sensitivity-led upgrades. Investors and families will appreciate the versatile reception space and home office; buyers should budget for energy improvements and routine garden/stream upkeep.
