This elegant Grade II listed property, believed to date from the early 19th century, exudes charm and character throughout. Constructed with traditional plastered walls and a thatched roof, the home retains many original features, including two prominent brick chimney stacks at either end. The main entrance, behind a panelled wooden door, opens into a welcoming ENTRANCE HALL laid with original flagstone flooring, setting the tone for the home’s period style.

The inviting SITTING ROOM benefits from ample natural light via a secondary glazed window (as elsewhere) overlooking the front garden, road, and ' The Green' with French doors opening onto the rear garden. A charming electric log-burning effect fire forms the focal point. Steps either side of the chimney breast lead to a raised SNUG / STUDY AREA with twin windows—ideal for quiet reading or working from home.

The DINING ROOM is a well-proportioned space with exposed timber beams timber flooring and an electric fire with surround, and room for a sizeable table—perfect for family meals and entertaining. The KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM offers a range of both wall and base units with ample worktop space. There’s room for a breakfast table, and the stainless-steel sink sits beneath a window overlooking the garden. Two doors lead outside, with a third providing internal access to the ANNEXE. Exposed floorboards add warmth and texture.
The adjacent ground-floor BATHROOM includes plumbing and space for laundry appliances. This well-appointed room with timber flooring features a roll-top bath, vanity unit with countertop basin, W.C., heated towel rail, and a utility cupboard housing the gas boiler (installed in December 2022).

Stairs rise from the hallway to the first-floor landing, which gives access to four bedrooms and a shower room. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM includes exposed floorboards, a period fireplace, and built-in cupboards. BEDROOMS TWO and BEDROOM THREE overlooks the village, while bedroom four lies to the side. The SHOWER ROOM is fitted with a corner shower, basin with storage, W.C., and heated towel rail.
