Hawthorns was built in 1882, of local brick and is under a slate tiled roof. The house enjoys a rich local history, documented by the Spencley family who occupied the house until the early part of this century. It has served the relatively few residents in its 143 year history well. Evolving over the years the house retains immense charm and character.

Today, the house offers a substantial family home over two floors, upgraded to modern standards and finished with style and elegance. The principal accommodation runs off the central hallway, with large rooms filled with natural light with traditionally high ceilings and large windows. The drawing room and kitchen/breakfast room both open through French doors onto lawned gardens, enjoying high levels of privacy. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke handmade base and wall cabinetry with integrated appliances, under stone and timber worktops. There is a double Aga and a large central island unit with underfloor heating. This room offers ample space for a large table and additional sofa seating.

The décor is neutral showing off the exceptional proportions, finished with stone and wood flooring, and attractive period detail including fireplaces, cornicing and high quality recessed downlighting. Upstairs there is a large landing off which are six bedrooms, four of them en-suite. The bathrooms offer both style and character.

It was quite substantially, albeit sympathetically, extended in 2013. There is a good cellar and large attic ascend with a second staircase, offering invaluable additional storage space.

OUTSIDE:

The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with natural hedging. There are a number of attractive specimen plants, fruit trees and shrubs including a very large clipped oval holly bush and trained wisteria. There is a tennis court and summer house with raised seating area. The house is approached via a long gravel drive through substantial decorative iron gates.
