A lovely Grade II listed period house, lying in the heart of the village
Edwards House stands in the heart of this popular village, within grounds extending to nearly 0.6 acres in total. According to Historic England, Edwards House dates from the early 19th century, constructed of stone under a clay tile roof. The roof on the main part of the house has very recently been replaced and has a 25 year guarantee for the works done.
The property now requires completely updating and modernising, but offers over 3,600sqft of accommodation across three floors in the main house. There is an excellent flow across the ground floor and the balance of rooms is ideal for family living, with three reception rooms supported by a kitchen, boot room and utility room. The main sitting room has parquet floor, with Blue Lias flagstones leading into the house from the old front door, which is still there, but not currently used. No doubt this was originally two rooms, with a log-burner at one end and an open fire at the other. There are also two cloakrooms on the ground floor.
Up on the first floor, the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom, whilst two further bedrooms share a family bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms on the second floor, along with a box room.
Outside
Approached from the village lane, Edwards House has ample off-street parking to the front of the house, with a triple carport to one side. There is a small yard in front of the stone stable block.
Terraced flower beds frame the front elevation of the house, with steps leading up to the front door. Part of the drive spurs off past the side of the house to parking area near the back door and boot room.
Flanked by a lovely stone wall to the east, and hedging to the west, the main gardens lie to the rear and rise up to reveal ever-better views from the top. The garden is laid mainly to lawn, with an area of kitchen garden to one side. Various stone outbuildings provide sheds and stores.
Lot 2
The paddock, of approximately 1.6 acres, is located to the north of Edwards House, with separate road access from the village road. Please note that there is a public footpath across the paddock.

Agents love talking about the bones of a good house and Edwards House has exactly that. After a long and happy ownership, the house is now ready for a new family to make their mark and I think this is a fabulous opportunity in a great village.
