About this property

  • Having been completely transformed and significantly extended by the current owner, The Parish Clerks House provides versatile accommodation and offers the rare benefit of extensive garaging / outbuildings perfect for car collectors. Set in about 1.2 acres of grounds with a paddock the property also features views over rolling countryside.

    The spacious ground floor accommodation includes an impressive open plan kitchen / breakfast / family room with two sets of doors to the garden. This room creates a real focal point of the home and is a wonderful entertaining space with a moveable kitchen island unit. This opens into a dining room with doors into the garden. A charming, dual aspect snug features a stone fireplace with woodburning stove and would work well as a study / play room. There is also a rear hallway with boot room, utility and WC.

    The first floor provides a generous triple aspect bedroom with south facing balcony benefitting from enviable views over the paddock and on to rolling open countryside beyond. There are three further double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

    To the front of the property is off street parking accessed via electric gates leading to a detached double garage with large storage room above. This has the potential to be converted to provide an annexe for further accommodation/ working from home space (subject to any necessary planning consents).

    The property extends in total to about 1.2 acres. There are lawn gardens with mature trees and a level grass paddock with separate road access via electric gates. At the entrance to the paddock is a further parking area and a range of outbuildings. A substantial, two bay workshop / barn with metal frame, cladding and two roller shutter doors provides ample room for several cars. There is further garaging / storage in a range of former stables and stores.

I am so impressed by the transformation that has taken place here. The house now offers a great space and the extensive garaging is ideal for car enthusiasts.
