Lovely Grade II listed family house in idyllic setting with extensive gardens and grounds
Originally built as a farmhouse in 1704, evolving over the intervening years, Overy House has been updated and beautifully maintained by the present owners. It now presents its next custodian a wonderful family home, with all conveniences required for 21st century living.
Many original features have been maintained including ancient beams, leaded light windows, lovely old fireplaces and vaulted ceilings. Bespoke cabinetry features throughout the house including reception rooms, study and bedrooms. The contemporary styled family kitchen features painted wooden units, a range cooker, a larder cupboard, butlers sink, space for a fridge freezer and breakfast bar.
Outside
The gardens are mostly lawned bordered with mature hedging and broadleaf trees. There is a generous gravelled driveway and parking area with a pleached hedge to one side and a double garage at the rear. Beyond the garage is a pair of stables current used as additional storage. The land is post and rail fenced on both sides and extends to approximately two acres.
The garage offers great potential for conversion, depending on a buyer’s specific needs, (subject to the usual required planning consents).

This is the quintessential village house. The position on a no-through lane, views across to the abbey and large garden running down to the stream all make it the ideal home for a young family.
