Old Stone House
One of the historic houses of Shorwell, listed Grade II, the property retains many period features including wonderful stone fireplaces, various carvings, stone mullioned windows and flagstone floors. The house has been subject to modernisation and extension in recent years including the double garage being incorporated to create a generous open plan kitchen/living room French doors to the garden in addition to 2 spacious receptions rooms. The adjoining period building, The Cart Shed, has been converted to provide an attractive annexe/holiday let with large open plan Kitchen/Living Room, generous double bedroom and its own garden area. In addition 2 shepherd huts located within their own garden area with BBQ area and hot tub have been run as a successful holiday let business. A stream runs through the largely lawned garden with decked terraces and bar.
Originally built by the Puckford family in the 16th Century and it remained in their ownership into the early 18th Century. A carving of the letters ‘ep’ above the fireplace in one of the bedrooms is believed to refer to an Edmund Puckford.
