Built of mellow red brick the property is listed Grade II and dates from the 17th Century with later additions. The Georgian influence is clearly visible in the handsome brick porch and the lovely deep sash windows of the principal rooms. The more commonly used main entrance is on the eastern façade and leads into a charming and generous reception hall. The heart of the house is the beautiful farmhouse kitchen with an Aga and a variety of fitted cupboards. From here there is access to the sitting room, a lovely room with a massive inglenook fireplace and double doors to the garden. A door from the sitting room leads to the bright, elegant drawing room. With double aspect the room is always flooded with light, a large brick fireplace with woodburner and an adjoining deep alcove; the room has a real sense of tranquillity. The adjoining dining room is south facing, with a tall ceiling and a brick fireplace. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a good sized utility room, a cloakroom and a generous double aspect study. The study has a range of custom made fitted bookshelves and store cupboards. Stairs rise to the first floor from the drawing room and a further staircase in the rear hall lead to the first floor as well as down to a large, dry cellar. The first floor landing gives access to the three principal bedrooms. The master bedroom is approached through a large en-suite bathroom, both lovely rooms. The south facing guest bedroom has an en-suite shower room. There is a large family shower room. Bedrooms 4 and 5 are approached via a second staircase in the rear hall and these rooms share an adjoining bathroom. A wide gravel driveway leads around the house to a large parking and turning area. Dominating one corner of the garden is the large barn, a useful building for storage or summer entertainment as desired. A covered loggia to the front of the barn allows al fresco entertaining, even when the British weather is inclement. The gardens truly complement this lovely house with areas of Old English formality, including yew and box hedging, abundant roses and ancient brick walls, with more open and informal areas giving lovely views across the adjoining fields.
