This restored Grade II listed former public house combines authentic 17th‑century character with contemporary finishes. Sympathetic renovations have preserved original beams, sash windows and fireplaces while adding a high‑spec kitchen, underfloor heating and remote‑controlled heating and security systems — the house is presented ready to move into.
Arranged over multiple floors, the layout suits a large family: five double bedrooms (three with en‑suite), three reception rooms and a striking glass‑panelled cellar with potential as a wine store or unique entertaining feature. The property sits on a large, well‑kept walled plot with private gravel driveway and off‑street parking.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing and recent works: listed status will affect future alterations and may complicate permissions. The property has been newly renovated with new damp‑proofing and many replacement sash windows, but the maintenance and constraints associated with historic properties remain relevant.
Practical benefits include modern conveniences—integral high‑end kitchen appliances, utility and boot rooms, external power/water to the garden, and remote monitoring of alarm and heating. There is also a separate large three‑bed detached house within the grounds offered separately, which may interest buyers seeking additional accommodation or joint purchase options.
This home will suit buyers looking for a distinctive, well‑finished family house in a prosperous village setting; investors should factor in listing constraints and a high Council Tax band when assessing returns.
