A rare opportunity to restore and modernise a village period home, with approximately an acre of wonderful gardens.
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Burchetts Green, 'Tiggers' is a five bedroom detached home, which offers a rare combination of historic significance and idyllic countryside living. Dating back to the Tudor period, the property is Grade II listed and is understood to be one of the oldest homes in the village.
The main house was extended in the 1920s, enhancing both space and character while respecting its architectural heritage. The property has been in the same family ownership since c.1968 and is now offered to the market for the first time in over half a century. While now requiring comprehensive refurbishment, the house presents a unique opportunity to restore and personalise a lovely country to a exacting standard.
Upon entering a long hallway leads to a study with wood-panelled walls and a brick fireplace. The living room has great proportions and scale with a curved bay-window, exposed wooden flooring and a wonderful fireplace with herringbone details. It also provides access to the separate garden terrace. A formal dining room has another beautiful brick built fireplace and is surrounded by black timber beams. A further reception room leads to the kitchen with a number of wall and base units and a separate utility.
On the first floor are five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal suite is of particular note, with a large bedroom, dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Internally, the house retains a wealth of original period features, including exposed beams, open fireplaces and historic detailing, all reflecting the property’s rich and varied past.
