Astley House is a striking Grade II listed terrace with origins in the 16th century, recently renovated throughout to a high standard. The house retains period character — high ceilings, sash windows, exposed beams and a vaulted former-stables dining hall — while offering updated fittings and a newly refurbished kitchen and bathroom. Its central village location places amenities, school provision and country walking routes within easy reach.
The property sits on a generous plot with a long, private rear garden that backs onto parish fields and the bowling green, and includes a summer house and large paved patio. Extensive cellars beneath the house provide significant additional space and flexibility for storage, a home office, cinema room or entertaining area. There is a garage for parking and oil-fired central heating is installed.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate further works. There is only one bathroom for four bedrooms, and although architects’ drawings exist showing potential loft accommodation, no formal planning permission has been submitted. The sale is offered chain-free, presenting a straightforward purchase route for buyers wanting to move quickly.
This home will suit buyers looking for a character-filled family house in a well-served village, with scope to adapt space over time. Those seeking a completely maintenance-free modern property should note the listed status and historic fabric mean any future changes require specialist consent and care.
