Description

This extraordinary home which is believed to date back to the mid 1500’s, offers a wealth of versatile living throughout its myriad of varying floors and levels. There is a significant sense of historical importance within the architectural details, from the aging beams, winding staircases and grand fireplaces to the servant’s punishment cell and disguised Priest hole, all an absolute delight for those who appreciate beautifully preserved character.

Stepping across the ancient threshold, the abundance of enchanting character can be found at every turn as you move from room to room. The main sitting room, vast in size yet with great versatility within the layout as you move towards to the dining area, cosier snug area and through to the rear hallway, all quite open plan with a wonderful natural flow. Utilising which would have been quite a redundant and large space, the sub floor level has been converted into the eat-in kitchen area, perhaps the most modern room yet still sympathetically designed around the vast open fireplace, just one of many to be found throughout the floors above.
In addition to the main sitting room, scale a few aging steps up to the second living space, a slightly cosier alternative where again your focus is drawn to the magnificent Inglenook fireplace complete with winding staircase above to take you directly to the Principal suite. A separate staircase from the cosy family room leads you to the landing, where two double bedrooms and the main family bath and shower suite can be found.
Explore further up the last remaining winding staircase to the attic suite, where a stunning Copper bathtub greets you on arrival. With vaulted ceilings framed by aging silvered beams, the attic suite evokes sumptuous tones through the dramatic Moroccan inspired décor, a spacious room with a good degree of privacy from the rest of the sprawling house below.

More than any singular element, it is the scale and atmosphere which makes this home so distinctive. There is a sense of living, breathing cultural history within the bones of this building and it simply is one of the most remarkable homes we have ever seen or brought to the market.

Outside...

Nestled within the heart of the village, all amenities lead straight from the front door. The garden to the rear has double gates from the road side, allowing further off-road parking if required. With plenty of space to enjoy the warmer months from the dining terrace to the lawn, outside is as versatile as inside.

Franks Thoughts...
