Description

A truly unique opportunity to own this stunning Grade 2 Listed period thatched home (c. 1650) offering light and airy accommodation with high vaulted ceilings, due to the first floor being removed 100+ years ago to create the height; and an additional 2 bedroom detached self-contained annexe. The property is set within outstanding gardens of 1.25 acres in one of the area's most sought after village locations. The main house includes 4 bedrooms with 2 large bathrooms, along with 2 reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room. In addition to the main house, the detached annexe comprises a large open plan living space, plus a bedroom/office with a spiral wine cellar underneath, a bathroom on the ground floor and a large first floor bedroom. Externally, the property is accessed via a substantial gated driveway, whilst the gardens that surround the house are exceptional, featuring two large koi fishponds, many mature specimen trees, and a real sense or escapism. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate this charming and historic home.
