About this property

A highly distinctive C18th Grade II listed double fronted detached village house of considerable character, with south-facing gardens, a swimming pool and garden room/studio. This charming Grade II listed period home dates from 1700s and combines period character with modern comfort. The property is understood to date from an earlier timber-framed building, subsequently refaced in red brick with grey headers, beneath a half-hipped tiled roof, with a chimney dated 1713, making it a notable example of the area's vernacular architecture.
