A Truly Exceptional Grade II Listed Home of Historic Distinction Set Within 1.26 Acres of established grounds.

Steeped in history and believed to date back to the pre-1400s, this remarkable five-bedroom Grade II listed detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of immense character, timeless elegance and outstanding versatility.

Beautifully blending centuries of heritage with generous modern-day accommodation extending to almost 4,850 sq ft including outbuildings, the property has been sympathetically maintained to preserve its wealth of original features, including exposed timbers, impressive fireplaces and an abundance of period charm throughout. The thatched roof was expertly renewed in 2021 by renowned thatching specialists Chris Kirk Thatching, further enhancing the property's exceptional character and appeal.

The ground floor offers an outstanding collection of reception spaces, perfectly suited to both everyday family life and grand-scale entertaining. The accommodation includes a magnificent principal reception room, formal dining room, study, spacious kitchen, utility room, cloakroom and a range of further versatile living areas, providing an exceptional level of flexibility rarely found in properties of this era.

To the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite complete with dressing room and ensuite facilities, complemented by further family bathroom accommodation.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own, occupying a superb 1.26 acre plot offering privacy, versatility and an enviable lifestyle setting. The grounds provide a wonderful backdrop to the home, with ample space for outdoor entertaining, recreation and enjoying the tranquillity of this historic setting.

Adding further appeal is an excellent range of outbuildings offering significant potential. A substantial detached building, currently utilised as an office, provides an exciting opportunity to create a superb self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions. This versatile space would be ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, a home business or potential holiday letting.

There is also a detached double garage providing excellent parking and storage, an additional outbuilding to the rear of the plot with a aged swimming pool outside the front which in the correct hands can all be brought back to its former glory. This unique space offers tremendous scope for future enhancement, whether transformed into a private leisure suite, gymnasium, studio or further ancillary accommodation, subject to any required consents.

Properties of this nature, combining genuine historic importance, substantial accommodation, exceptional grounds and future potential, rarely become available.

A truly unique opportunity to acquire one of the area's finest period homes, where centuries of history meet modern flexibility, set within an outstanding 1.26 acre setting.
