The Property

Understood to have 16th Century origins, and converted from former farm buildings, this attractive and individual Grade II Listed property offers well proportioned and flexible accommodation. This characterful property is packed with period charm, and features exposed timber beams throughout, which have been tastefully incorporated into the home's contemporary interior. Including the annexe, the property can provide four double bedrooms – three with en-suite and two with dressing rooms.

The front entrance to the home leads into a hallway with access to the rear garden and leading into the open plan kitchen & dining room. This is a lovely light and generous space with impressive vaulted ceiling to the dining area and double doors to the rear patio. The contemporary kitchen features shaker style cupboard units, built in pantry, integrated dishwasher and range cooker with induction hob. A large central island provides additional cupboard and food preparation space. The kitchen/dining room is undoubtedly the heart of the home and is a wonderful space for entertaining.

Immediately adjacent is the comfortable and well-proportioned sitting room, featuring a wood-burning stove within recessed fireplace, and rear aspect window overlooking the village green. Beyond the living room are the three bedrooms and family bathroom. At the far end of the home are the two en-suite bedrooms, one ground floor and the other on the first floor. Both are spacious rooms, benefitting from separate dressing rooms with plenty of built in storage and hanging space. Both bedrooms also have a dual aspect, overlooking the front courtyard and the village green to the rear. The first floor bedroom also has access to a large loft storage area which is very useful.

The remaining accommodation within the main building comprises the third bedroom which is currently utilised as a study and the family bathroom with underfloor heating which features a lovely freestanding ceramic bath, wash basin, toilet, heated towel rail and large airing cupboard with hot water tank.

To the rear of the property is a separate outbuilding which has been converted into an annexe. It is currently used as a craft room but could equally be utilised as on office or fourth bedroom, and is equipped with en-suite shower room. The remaining section of this building is the separately accessed utility room which houses the Grant oil fired boiler, a belfast sink and plumbing for washing machine, as well as providing additional storage.

In addition to the superb internal features, the outside spaces are a great asset to the property. There is a very large private parking area which can accommodate eight cars. From here a gate leads to the front courtyard which is paved and interspersed with mature plants & shrubs. Between the main house and the annexe is a pretty patio which makes for a lovely private seating area, and extending behind the annex is the main garden which is predominantly laid to lawn and boasts numerous fruit trees. The garden is moderately sloped and at the far end is a greenhouse, growing beds and the oil tank. From here there are gates to the lane behind which allow vehicle access.

Bordering the property and with direct access from the patio and parking area is the village green and church grounds. St Gregory's church is part of the Otter Vale mission community and having it nearby really adds to the quintessential village appeal of the property.
