There are homes that impress because of their history, and others because of the way they have evolved to meet the needs of modern family life. This exceptional Grade II Listed residence achieves both with remarkable ease. Believed to have originated as two cottages in the mid-18th century, it has been sensitively united and beautifully restored to create a remarkable home where centuries-old character has been thoughtfully balanced with contemporary comfort, resulting in a property that feels every bit as elegant as it is welcoming.
From the moment you arrive, there is an undeniable sense of permanence. The mellow, tapestry-like brickwork of the elevations, traditional sash windows and striking proportions hint at the rich heritage within, while the generous plot of approximately one third of an acre (stms) provides a surprising amount of outdoor space rarely associated with period homes in such central village settings.
Inside, the accommodation unfolds beautifully. The welcoming reception hall immediately introduces the quality found throughout, where exposed timbers, original fireplaces, deep skirting boards and carefully chosen colours work in harmony to create interiors that feel timeless yet effortlessly liveable.
The principal reception room is a magnificent space, perfectly proportioned for entertaining on a grand scale or relaxing beside the impressive wood-burning stove during the colder months. Rich colours, bespoke cabinetry and an abundance of natural light create a room that feels both sophisticated and wonderfully comfortable. Alongside, the adjoining snug offers a more intimate retreat, equally characterful with its own fireplace and warm, inviting atmosphere, making it ideal as a family room, reading room or cosy evening escape.
The beautifully proportioned principal reception room provides an elegant setting for both entertaining and everyday living, centred around an impressive wood-burning stove. A separate snug, complete with its own fireplace, offers a cosy retreat, while the formal dining room creates a welcoming space for family meals and larger gatherings.
The well-appointed shaker-style kitchen features quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a central island, complemented by a utility room, boot room and cloakroom for practical family living.
Arranged over the first and second floors, the versatile accommodation includes a generous principal bedroom, four further bedrooms and beautifully finished bath and shower rooms. One of the upper-floor rooms is currently used as an additional sitting room, highlighting the home’s flexibility for guests, home working or growing families.
Outside, an enclosed stone terrace provides a private space for outdoor dining, leading to mature gardens with expansive lawns, established planting and a pergola-covered entertaining area. Ample off-road parking is positioned to the rear, with power and water connected, while a brick workshop, wood store and useful cellar add further practicality.
Blending period character with thoughtful modern enhancements, this exceptional home offers timeless elegance, outstanding versatility and a lifestyle perfectly suited to contemporary family living.
