The Gate is an impressive family home that spans approximately 4,000 sq ft of internal accommodation arranged over two floors. The property dates from 1495 and is a historic landmark, formerly being a gate house and inn, which has been sensitively updated to showcase its heritage, with exposed timber frameworks, vaulted ceilings, and a collection of magnificent original fireplaces. The ground floor offers several reception rooms, including a drawing room with a wood-burning stove, a front-aspect sitting room with fireplace, and a characterful family room featuring a fireplace with wood burning stove and a decorative bread oven. There is also a music room with a cast-iron wood-burning stove set within a recessed inglenook-style fireplace, and a private study with an ornate period-style fireplace inset with a castiron stove and en suite cloakroom. The heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen and dining room. Housed within a vaulted oak-framed extension, this light-filled space features floor-to-ceiling glazing, a large central island and bespoke cabinetry. A well-proportioned utility room completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor, the property offers five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom provides a private retreat with its own en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms also benefit from en suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom with a classic roll-top bath and period-style fittings.

Outside The property is approached via a generous gravel driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles and leading to a detached double garage with consent to demolish and replace with a three bay garage. The gardens are predominantly laid to level lawn and bordered by mature trees and established hedgerows, ensuring a high degree of privacy. A paved terrace to the rear offers an ideal setting for al fresco entertaining, complete with a bespoke brick-built barbecue area and views across the gardens.
