KEY FEATURES
A truly remarkable thatched residence, believed to date back to circa 1591, offering generous living accommodation and set within a substantial plot. Rich in period charm, the property showcases a wealth of character features, including exposed beams, original fireplaces, and a wonderful sense of history throughout.
The elegant dual-aspect sitting room is a highlight, featuring a magnificent inglenook fireplace that forms the heart of the space and exudes warmth and character. A delightful door opens directly onto the south-facing rear garden, inviting natural light and providing seamless access to the outdoors.
In addition to the sitting room, there are three further reception rooms, each with its own distinct personality. The music room, adjoining the family room, benefits from a beautiful bay window that floods the space with light, creating an inspiring and relaxing atmosphere.
The kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining family area has been thoughtfully designed, combining style with functionality. Luxurious granite work surfaces add a touch of sophistication, while the open-plan layout connects effortlessly with the rear garden, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys the privacy of an en suite bathroom, while three further bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside, the enchantment continues. The front garden, mainly laid to lawn, offers an attractive approach to the property. To the rear, the expansive south-facing garden is a true sanctuary, featuring a wide lawn, a charming, decked seating area, and a pond, ideal for relaxing or entertaining in the sunshine. A gated gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking for residents and visitors alike.
