Dating from 1641, this remarkable Grade II Listed residence is an exquisite example of English country house living, seamlessly combining centuries of architectural heritage with the comforts and versatility required for modern family life. Occupying an enchanting position within approximately four acres of mature grounds, the property enjoys a rare sense of tranquillity and privacy, surrounded by beautifully established gardens, paddock land and a gently meandering stream.

A home of considerable character and historical significance, the house retains an abundance of original period features throughout, including exposed timbers, traditional fireplaces, handcrafted doors and deep set windows, all of which contribute to its undeniable charm and authenticity.

The reception hall provides an impressive introduction to the house, offering a warm welcome and immediate appreciation of the property's rich heritage. Beyond lies the heart of the home: a beautifully appointed country kitchen and breakfast room centred around a traditional Aga. Designed as both a practical family space and an inviting setting for informal entertaining, the kitchen enjoys views over the gardens and provides an effortless connection to the surrounding landscape.

The formal dining room is particularly atmospheric, perfectly suited to both intimate family gatherings and larger occasions. Exposed ceiling beams, cast iron radiators and a striking log burning stove create an elegant yet relaxed environment, whilst doors opening directly onto the garden terrace allow for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining during the warmer months.

The principal drawing room is a room of notable scale and elegance, bathed in natural light from dual aspect windows and centred around a magnificent fireplace. Character beams overhead and views across the grounds further enhance the sense of grandeur. Complementing this space is a separate sitting room, offering a more intimate retreat where a second log-burning stove creates the perfect setting for relaxed evenings throughout the seasons.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over two upper floors and provides exceptional flexibility for family living and guests alike. The first floor hosts a splendid principal suite enjoying elevated views across the surrounding grounds and benefiting from a private en suite bathroom. A second guest suite also enjoys en suite facilities, whilst a further generously proportioned bedroom is served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Each room enjoys delightful vistas over the gardens, paddocks and surrounding countryside, creating a constant connection with the exceptional setting.

The second floor offers three further substantial bedrooms, a family bathroom and an impressive games room, providing highly versatile accommodation suitable for larger families, visiting guests, home working or recreational pursuits.

A useful cellar beneath the property provides valuable ancillary storage.

Externally, the grounds are a defining feature of the estate. Extending to approximately four acres, they have been carefully nurtured over many years and comprise sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees, colourful planting, paddock land and a picturesque stream that gently traverses the landscape. The setting offers an idyllic backdrop to the house and creates a wonderful sense of seclusion whilst remaining eminently practical for family enjoyment or those seeking a rural lifestyle.

A detached double garage is complemented by two adjoining storage rooms, whilst a collection of traditional outbuildings further enhances the property's versatility. Ample off-road parking is available for numerous vehicles.

Rarely do properties of such provenance, scale and character come to the market. This is a distinguished country residence that offers not only exceptional accommodation but also an enviable lifestyle, where history, elegance and the beauty of the natural surroundings combine to create a truly special family home.
