The property
Worsley House is an outstanding period property, dating from the late 15th century and offering more than 3,000 square feet of characterful accommodation in a bucolic rural location. Featuring wonderful elevations of timber framing, render infill and red brick, the property also displays a wealth of stunning original features inside, including exposed beams and grand open fireplaces.

Requiring extensive renovation, the property provides an opportunity to put a modern spin on the splendid, spacious living accommodation, while retaining the essential character features.

The ground floor offers three comfortable reception rooms, including the dining room or reception hall, with its flagstone flooring, heavy timber beams and handsome open fireplace. Towards the rear there is a light, airy sitting room with a dual aspect, its fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove, while the family room provides further space in which to relax. Additionally, the ground floor has a well-proportioned kitchen with space for all the necessary appliances, plus a utility room, a store and a cellar for further home storage.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms, the smaller of which is ideal for use as a study, nursery or dressing room. The other four bedrooms are all doubles, including the principal bedroom, which is in its own discreet first-floor area along with a large shower room. A further family bathroom is located on the ground floor.

History
Worsley House is a building of extreme interest that retains much of its primary fabric. It is a ‘transition’ house representing the change from the medieval open-hall tradition to the greater comfort of the ceiled hall with its chimneystacks and fireplaces. These were radical changes that took place in the decades before and after the year 1500.

Services: Mains electricity. Private water. Oil fired central heating. Private drainage that we understand may not comply with current regulations.

Outside
The house is set with 57.3 acres of beautiful rolling farmland and is set almost a mile from the road along a singletrack lane. The track leads through the beautiful fields and meadows and across a cattle grid to a grassy courtyard area at the front of the house, with access to the historic stone and brick outbuildings, which include garaging, a kiln room and plenty of barn storage.
