The Property Believed to date back to the 16th century, this Grade II Listed home has much to offer, whether it be character features or flexible and well appointed accommodation. It is a truly delightful and comfortable family home which does not fail to please on every level and the large Victorian casement windows give the house its light and airy interiors. The main part of the house has a thatched roof which was re-thatched in 2003 by a master thatcher using the highest quality Norfolk reed and should last until the end of this century. The front door is located on the east side of the house and opens into a single storey entrance lobby which links with the main section of the house. Both the drawing room and dining room have large inglenook fireplaces and the study a fireplace with a Georgian style timber surround. All three rooms are impressive both in size and feature while the family room which lies off the kitchen has a more informal feel. Also leading off the kitchen is a sewing/laundry room. The kitchen is the hub of the house, comprising a range of fitted and stand-alone units with the focal point being the large fireplace with Aga inset. Additionally there is an excellent north facing pantry and wine store and also a utility room with access doors to the front and rear of the property, all these rooms offer plenty of space for additional

appliances. Above the service rooms are two loft rooms which offer up scope for additional accommodation if required. There is a shower room and a separate wc on the ground floor and two bath/shower rooms on the first floor which collectively serve all five bedrooms and it would be relatively easy to incorporate the bathroom into the master bedroom to provide an en-suite facility. Four of the bedrooms have built-in or fitted wardrobes and the first floor and attic landings are equipped to provide for additional storage and hanging space for clothes. The attic room to the west is useful for storage but could serve equally well as an additional bedroom if required. Outside There is a range of buildings attached to the house and these include a tool shed, and attached barn/workshop. Please note that this barn is also connected to the neighbouring property. A separate adjacent building serves as a log store, bike shed and potting shed and also within the garden lies a greenhouse and loggia. The owners are keen gardeners and over the years have developed the gardens which now include a fruit cage, vegetable patch and rose garden along with shrub and herbaceous beds and mature trees. There are two natural ponds and there is a connecting paddock with mature trees which provide a wonderful habitat for wildlife. There is an option to purchase 1 acre (0.4ha) STS of woodland across the road.
