About the House: Believed to date back to the mid-17th century, Black Swan House has evolved over the centuries into a family home that combines history and character with practical, light-filled living spaces.
The triple-aspect sitting room opens onto the gardens, perfect for summer entertaining or cosy winter evenings by the wood-burning stove. The formal dining room with inglenook fireplace and pamment flooring makes a picture-perfect setting for family gatherings, while an adjoining snug currently serves as a home office or secondary dining space.
The bespoke kitchen is fitted with granite worktops, a Villeroy & Boch double Belfast sink, NEFF induction hob & oven, Bosch dishwasher, and central island. Storage is exceptional, with a utility/boot room, two large built-in cupboards, and a cellar ideal for wine or provisions.
Upstairs, four double bedrooms, two with ensuites, are complemented by a family bathroom finished in pale natural stone with a double-ended bath. The large attic floor - over 50 feet in length - offers flexible space for teenagers, hobbies, or home working.
Gardens & Outside Space Set behind a long private drive, the property sits on around two acres. A sunny south-west facing terrace overlooks the garden, while a sheltered terrace provides a peaceful morning retreat. Gardens include a polytunnel, raised vegetable beds, fruit cages, pond with viewing deck, and orchard. Two garages with power, multiple sheds, and an external electrical hook-up complete this versatile setting.
