The property is a most attractive Grade II listed detached family house believed to date back to the 16th century with later additions. The timber framed property has white weather boarded elevations under a tiled roof and offers flexible accommodation arranged over three floors with a wealth of characterful features including exposed beams and timbers.
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall giving access to the principal reception rooms. The double aspect sitting room overlooks the front and has a wonderful inglenook fireplace with wood-burner and bressummer beam above, parquet flooring and windows to the front and side. There is also a family room with window to the front and a dining room with French doors opening to the rear terrace and garden.
The impressive kitchen/breakfast room is a particular feature of the house and has a lovely vaulted ceiling with sky-light, extensive wall and base storage cupboards with wooden worktops and breakfast bar, integrated appliances, Rangemaster oven, double Belfast sink and tiled floor. Bi-fold doors open onto the rear terrace and garden creating a fantastic entertaining space. There is also a useful utility room with a door to the rear and a ground floor w.c.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a window to the front as well as fitted wardrobes to one wall and an en suite shower room. Stairs lead up to two further bedrooms on the second floor.
Outside, at the front of the house, there is a new picket fence with pedestrian gate leading to the front door. To the rear, there is a paved terrace perfect for al fresco dining. The terrace leads on to a good-sized mature garden which is mainly laid to lawn (one section has all-weather artificial grass). There is a detached studio with power and light which is ideal to use as a gym or home office. At the far end of the garden there is a large area of decking providing a seating area with fantastic views over the river and countryside beyond.
