This captivating property, originally believed to date back to the mid Elizabethan period, was beautifully refaced in 1801, incorporating stunning Georgian architectural elements. The house combines a rich history with remarkable features such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, and striking York stone cathedral-quality flagstones, alongside a unique blend of ancient brickwork and knapped flint that give the home immense character and charm.

The accommodation is both spacious and thoughtfully designed. The L-shaped sitting room, with its exposed beams and inglenook fireplace, provides a cosy and inviting atmosphere, while the study area offers a perfect space for work or relaxation. The separate dining room, along with a modern, refitted kitchen featuring high-quality appliances, offers the ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The family bathroom has been completely renovated with a stylish modern suite, seamlessly blending contemporary design with the home’s historic charm.

The kitchen has been relocated and fully upgraded, with new units and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, wine fridge, and dishwasher. Several windows have been replaced with high-performance sash windows, and the driveway has been repaved with automatic electric gates and stylish lighting.
