Description
This exceptional timber-framed residence offers a rare combination of historical integrity and versatile accommodation, thoughtfully arranged over three levels. Occupying a prominent position within the heart of this sought-after village, the home is defined by its architectural craftsmanship, from the grand sitting room with its herringbone-stonework inglenook to the formal dining room featuring a magnificent hand-carved moulded ashlar fireplace.
The first and second floors provide a flexible footprint that currently includes a spacious master suite and multiple double bedrooms, complemented by a dedicated home office and gym area to the large landing areas. With a substantial store room on the upper floor and a detached double garage externally, there is significant scope to create additional bedrooms, ensuites, or a self-contained annex to suit modern lifestyle requirements (subject to the appropriate permissions).
Outside, the property is further enhanced by landscaped gardens and a private block-paved driveway. There is a detached brick-built outbuilding which currently houses a hot tub, but could be used as a dedicated home office space, bar, or garden room. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine historical significance that remains practical for contemporary family life. The field view to the front of the property are protected.
