Believed to date back to the 16th - 17th Century and once three cottages, this charming Grade II Listed family home has been beautifully refurbished by the present owners and now offers all the modern comforts whilst enriched with traditional charm.

The entrance hall offers a wonderful space to welcome guests whilst doubling up as a cosy spot to relax away from the main reception rooms. To one side, is a spacious sitting room with impressive fireplace, fitted with a log burner, as well as a study tucked away for ultimate privacy. To the other end of the house is a cosy snug, also benefitting from a log burner and provides access to the open plan kitchen/dining room. The hub of the house is of course the kitchen, fitted with extensive cabinetry, pantry, a range cooker, as well as a modest central island for additional work surface, with a well-sized dining area for the family to gather adjacent. A large utility room to the side of the house offers convenient storage and boot area completes the ground floor.

The first floor compromises the spacious principal bedroom, with vaulted ceiling, a dressing room and an impressive en suite with a walk-in shower as well as cast iron, roll top free-standing bath. Further on this floor are 3 additional double bedrooms, as well as a well-sized family bathroom.
