Find Out A Little More .... - Constructed in handsome red brick beneath a steeply pitched roof with prominent chimney stacks, the house bears a date stone commemorating 1887 and Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. It is understood to have formerly served as the vicarage to the nearby St Peter’s Church.

True to a Victorian house of this status, the interior provides generous, well-proportioned rooms with lofty ceilings and some deep bay windows. Period details include fireplaces, a carved timber staircase, original floorboards, cornicing, stained glass windows and panelled doors retaining their original brass furniture.

The central reception hall forms the heart of the home and is mirrored by a spacious first-floor landing, with principal rooms arranged symmetrically on either side. The kitchen is positioned to the rear, enjoying a west-facing outlook across the gardens. The elegant drawing room features a deep bay window, while the sitting room is dual aspect with a projecting square bay and walk-through sash window opening directly onto the garden.

Five generously proportioned bedrooms are arranged over the first floor, some rising into the roof space, each enjoying attractive outlooks over the surrounding grounds and countryside.

Outside - The gardens and grounds extend to almost two acres and wrap around the house, bordered by open fields on two sides and the church on another. A long, tree-lined drive passes a high grassy bank planted with spring bulbs and sweeps around the southern boundary, arriving in front of the house and garage where there is ample parking and turning space.

The grounds appear to have been carefully maintained in recent years and feature clipped shrubs and hedges, mature trees underplanted with snowdrops and aconites, expansive lawns, and an orchard. A tall yew hedge forms a boundary with the church.

Adjoining the house are two brick-built stores opening onto a courtyard secured by a wrought-iron gate. Additional outbuildings include a small, detached garage and a timber shed.
