A unique oppurtunity, to purchase this stunning character property, formerly a public house in the sought after village of Crowell. This four bedroom home has a range of accommodation and has been transformed to create a character filled home, with many original features. Tucked just behind the village green, this characterful home is approximately 150 years old and enjoys a quiet setting with lovely walks along the Ridgeway only moments away.
You enter through a practical porch with room for coats and shoes, which leads straight into a striking open-plan living area. The high, vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and brickwork give the space real atmosphere, while the wood-burning stove makes the seating area feel warm and inviting. There’s also plenty of room for a dining table, and the French doors open directly out to the courtyard garden for easy indoor–outdoor living.
What was once the property’s bar, complete with natural-edged oak counters, has been cleverly reimagined as the main kitchen. It offers good storage, a hob and cooker, and is supported by a handy prep room behind it, which also links to the cellar. The room next to the main living space adds even more flexibility—whether you’d prefer an additional bedroom, a gym, a separate kitchen/diner, or even a workspace with its own front access.
An inner hallway leads to a further reception room/bedroom or office, as well as the garage and storeroom. These areas could offer extra accommodation in the future, subject to the usual permissions. A modern shower room with a separate WC and basin completes the ground floor.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, all thoughtfully designed and fitted with built-in storage. The third bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe that already has plumbing in place, making it easy to convert into an ensuite if desired. A family bathroom and access to the large, boarded loft round off the first floor.
The main garden sits at the front of the house and is enclosed with modern fencing that provides a good level of privacy. It’s a generous, welcoming space - ideal for hosting friends or simply relaxing outdoors. Alongside the garage, there’s also plenty of private off-road parking to the side of the property, making day-to-day life easy and convenient.

We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
