Description

One of the oldest properties in the village a builders date stone in the sitting room suggests the original house was built in 1677, the late Stuart/Restoration period with Charles II on the Throne. Extended at some point in the 1700’s and then again to the rear in the late Georgian or early Victorian era. This Grade II listed house has been fully restored by the current owners and has been decorated throughout with a soft colour palette from the Little Greene Heritage paint range.

Comments

There are three working open fireplaces, the entrance hall having a rare grey marble surround, the fairly new woodburner is a very good quality (made in Devon) HETAS and DEFRA approved to comply with BANES regulations. We have used dry, seasoned fire wood and the chimneys have been swept regularly. The chimneys are all fitted with guards to prevent birds nesting. There is an unvented cylinder which provides good water pressure for showers upstairs and down as well as ample hot water. The house is supplied with mains gas. The electrician has made sure the protection is up to modern standards with the consumer unit, breakers etc. The loft has a telescopic ladder for easy access and is boarded to provide extensive storage, or for other uses as has power and lighting. Windows in the bedrooms and sitting room are secondary glazed.
