Overlooking the village green in the heart of King's Sutton, 7 The Square is a handsome period house believed to originally date from the 17th century with later editions, enjoying a prominent position within a thriving village. Rich in character and beautifully proportioned throughout, the house combines an abundance of original features with wonderfully light and well-balanced accommodation.

The principal reception rooms all enjoy an attractive southerly aspect across the village green, creating a remarkable sense of space and connection with the village setting. High ceilings and large sash windows ensure the interiors are flooded with natural light, whilst a wealth of period detail has been carefully preserved, including open fireplaces, shuttered windows, exposed timbers, leaded lights, cornicing, flagstone and parquet flooring, oak floorboards and an array of original cupboards and shelving.

The drawing room and dining room provide elegant spaces for entertaining, whilst the sitting room, centred around an open fireplace, offers a more intimate retreat for everyday living and winter evenings. The kitchen is fitted with a range of built-in units and an Aga, complemented by a traditional pantry and useful ancillary accommodation including a rear lobby, shower room and cellar.

The upper floors continue to enjoy delightful views over the village green. The principal bedroom suite benefits from extensive built-in storage together with a generous en suite bath and shower room. Further bedrooms are well served by additional facilities, whilst the study provides an ideal space for home working, although it could readily serve as an additional bedroom if required. An ironing room and separate WC complete the accommodation.

The gardens are equally impressive, lying principally to the north and east of the house, they extend away from the property in a series of gently sloping lawns and terraces enclosed by attractive stone walls and mature beech hedging. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained, they create a succession of distinct garden spaces with a wonderful sense of privacy and maturity.

Flowing herbaceous borders sit alongside a charming lavender parterre, whilst the productive orchard includes apple, pear, apricot, damson, mulberry and crab apple trees. A fine collection of mature specimens, including oak, lime, sweet chestnut, walnut and hornbeam, provide structure and seasonal interest throughout the year. The kitchen garden is arranged with raised vegetable beds and complemented by a greenhouse, garden stores and abundant climbing wisteria.

A timber gate opens onto a shingle driveway leading to extensive parking and turning space at the rear of the house, where a striking Davidia, or Handkerchief Tree, forms a focal point. A tandem double garage and wood store provide excellent additional storage. In all about 0.9 acres.

7 The Square represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished village house of considerable character, occupying an enviable position overlooking the green and set within beautifully established gardens in the heart of this thriving village.
