Description
A picturesque 16th Century country residence situated in an idyllic rural position with gardens and grounds extending to just over 1.6 acres. Dating back to the late 16th century The Bents is an impressive family home exuding charm and original features including; Timber Frame, wattle and daub, Kerridge Stone Slate Roof, mullioned windows and exposed beams and trusses.
The house has been immaculately maintained by the current owners and offers spacious and versatile accommodation throughout. A feature of particular note on the ground floor is the galleried entrance hall with central fireplace and stone flagged flooring. From the entrance hall is the drawing room (with central fireplace), sitting room, dining room, shower room and large breakfast kitchen with traditional shaker units, large central island, granite worksurfaces, AGA and integrated appliances. From the kitchen is the rear hall which accesses the utility/boot room and the study/family room.
To the first floor is a large principal bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite bathroom (with underfloor heating). There are three further double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Externally the property stands centrally within its mature gardens and grounds of 1.6 acres. The grounds consist of manicured lawns, specimen trees, two water features and large York stone patios all enjoying stunning views across the neighbouring countryside. The main gardens to the rear of the house boast a sunny south easterly aspect. Approached by a long private driveway which leads to a set of electric gates.
