Brimming with character and warmth, the property is full of beautifully preserved features, with generous proportions and a thoughtfully arranged layout ideal for family life or those seeking a peaceful retreat.
As you enter the property, you're greeted by a welcoming entrance that leads into a magnificent sitting room, complete with a striking inglenook fireplace with a log burner - a cosy centrepiece that reflects the home's rich heritage. The adjoining kitchen is a timeless space designed with both style and functionality in mind, boasting a traditional range cooker, central island, and ample storage.

A separate study offers a quiet and private space ideal for remote working or reading, while the ground floor also includes a well-appointed bathroom and access to a delightful courtyard-style garden—an intimate and low-maintenance outdoor space that provides a secluded spot for alfresco dining or morning coffee.
Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms and a large landing/bedroom 4 await, with Bedroom 1 standing out for its generous size. The family shower room is finished in a style that complements the traditional features of the house. The landing area was previously split off to create the 4th bedroom and can easily be reinstated.
One of the standout features of this property is the impressive garage/workshop, accessed directly from the main house and also via double doors from the driveway. This large space is perfect for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or those simply seeking excellent storage and utility space. The driveway itself offers ample off-street parking, rare in such a picturesque village setting.
The building itself is steeped in history and forms part of what was originally a 17th-century public house, with later 19th-century additions. Listed by Historic England for its architectural and historical significance, the property retains many period features including exposed beams, timber framing, and traditional fenestration. The listing notes the significance of the property's vernacular style and its contribution to the character of Newington's historic core.
