Late 17th century Grade II listed detached house (Date stone 1695).

Stone construction under a pitched Welsh grey slate covered roof.

Wealth of period features including open fireplaces, exposed timbers, window seats, leaded lights, deep window boards and shutters.

The house has been sympathetically renovated and modernised throughout. There has been real attention to detail to introduce modern living whilst retaining the property age and charm. Neutral paint tones create a sense of light, elegance and fresh, clean living.

Notable improvements include hand made Monkeywood kitchen and laundry room units; Aston Matthews bathroom fittings; Vaughan, Jim Lawrence and A Place In The Garden lighting; Lacanche electric kitchen range with double oven and five ring hob; engineered oak flooring; Roger Oates runners; Osborne & Little and Thibaut wallpaper; English Heritage oak frame garden room with underfoor heating; outdoor oil fired boiler and radiators; professionally designed and French inspired entertaining area along the southern elevation.

Bi-fold doors from the garden room open out to the paved and hoggin covered entertaining area interspersed with topiary and box hedging. The garden room is a key element to this property, as it not only provides all year round informal entertaining space, but really brings the garden into the house.

Versatile accommodation provided by a separate music room in the garage building opposite. This is currently used as a reception room, but would be ideal for working from home or studio. There is potential to incorporate the adjoining garage to create a separate annexe, subject to the relevant consents.

Extensive, level and partly walled mature gardens lie to the east and south interspersed with various shrubs and trees. Areas of the garden have been left un-mown to allow for wildlife. Whilst the house is positioned in the heart of the village, when you close the gates, the garden envelopes you and provides space and privacy.

Beyond there is a delightfully private garden with partly wall and beech hedge boundaries. Here there are flowering borders and beds and outdoor heated swimming pool.

There is an additional access point onto the village lane on the southern boundary.

• Modern well-appointed living.
