Set immediately below the village church, this 17th-century semi-detached house offers substantial family accommodation across multiple floors and almost three quarters of an acre of garden. Original features such as exposed beams and oak floorboards combine with practical additions including solar panels, a large kitchen/dining area and generous off-road parking via a shared driveway.
The main house provides four bedrooms, two bathrooms and flexible ground-floor living including a snug with fireplace, a spacious kitchen/diner and utility/shower room. Two separate staircases and an attic bedroom create interesting, non-standard circulation and part-sloping ceilings — charming but not ideal for those needing single-level living. Windows and doors frame garden views and a terrace off the sitting room extends the living space outdoors.
Outbuildings deliver versatile space: a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with shower room, a studio with roof window and log burner, plus a powered shepherd’s hut. These spaces suit multigenerational use, home-working or potential holiday-let income, subject to any necessary permissions. The plot includes mature beds, a vegetable garden, summer house and storage shed.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are average for the area and the property sits on a shared access drive. The layout’s historic character means some rooms have sloping ceilings and eaves storage, and parts of the estate may benefit from updating to meet modern finish expectations. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, village setting and flexible outbuildings.
