An outstanding Grade II listed house of generous well-appointed proportions in an attractive village setting with mature gardens of about an acre
Tithe Barn is an exceptional Grade II listed country house originating from the 17th Century with later 19th Century additions. In 2012, the house was completly refurbished including replacement plumbing, electrical wiring and double glazed windows. The property combines period character with elegant styling and high-quality, contemporary fittings, to create a thoroughly attractive family home.
The principal building has a timber framed structure which is revealed to the front elevation complemented by mellow brick and part tiled hanging to the rear in a classic farmhouse style. Internally the timber frame is revealed in the central section of the house particularly in the magnificent family room which features a beamed ceiling, a most impressive brickinglenook fireplace with woodburner, timber bressumer and original bread oven and a set of French windows opening onto the terrace and rear garden. There is also a fine vaulted ceiling and heavily timbered walls in one of the front facing bedrooms.
An arched front door leads through a vestibule with old brick floor to the entrance hall which links to all the principal reception rooms. The dining room has a bay window with delightful views down the garden. The drawing room is a light and spacious double aspect room with fireplace and woodburner. The large kitchen/breakfast/living room with electric total control Aga has a comprehensive range of farmhouse style units, black granite worktops and a central island with a breakfast bar. The kitchen also has two sets of French windows allowing access to the garden.
The first floor is approached by an easy rising turning staircase where there are four bedrooms and a study, which could be used as a further bedroom if required. The generous principal bedroom has fitted storage, a dressing room and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, while three other bedrooms are en suite. The second floor has an additional bedroom en suite and a further study/bedroom.

The property is approached via a gravelled driveway, which leads to a courtyard area to the side of the house, with parking and access to the timber-framed barn. The garden to the side of the house is enclosed by hedgerows, with gravel terracing, while to the rear the extensive south-facing garden features paved terracing, far-reaching lawns, hedgerow, shrubs and mature trees.
