THE PROPERTY This superb home is believed to date from the early 17th century, combining a magnificent heavy timber-framed section with later Georgian influences.

Beautifully maintained throughout, the property blends period charm with practical modern living, featuring an attractive variety of window styles alongside gas-fired central heating.

The characterful accommodation includes a welcoming front-to-back hallway with pamment tiled flooring, opening through an exposed timber stud wall into the dining room, with doors leading to the drawing room and cloakroom.

The elegant drawing room features a sash window to the front, exposed beams and floorboards, a Georgian fireplace surround, fitted bookshelves and an arched alcove with display shelving, believed (to form the property’s only flying freehold element).

A further opening leads into the study/garden room, which enjoys French doors to the rear garden, a feature fireplace and access to the rear hall.

The rear hall, with pamment tiled flooring and fitted storage, provides access to the cloakroom via a traditional latch door.

The impressive dining room showcases the home’s 17th-century frame with a striking heavy timbered ceiling and exceptional ‘dragon beam’, complemented by a sash bay window, leaded side window and tiled flooring.

An oak-framed opening leads to the inner hall, where an oak staircase rises to the half-galleried first-floor landing above, with useful understairs storage.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with bespoke hand-built cabinetry, slate worktops, a double ceramic Butler sink, integrated Bosch appliances and space for a five-ring gas range cooker and washing machine.

Additional features include a shelved pantry and separate boiler cupboard housing the Vaillant gas boiler, pressurised hot water tank and water softener.

On the first floor, newly laid carpets run throughout the central landing room, linking the front and rear landings and framed by beautiful leaded casement windows.

The principal bedroom features original wide floorboards, a wrought iron hob grate fireplace with Georgian surround and an arched alcove containing an en-suite shower and washbasin.

Bedroom two includes built-in wardrobes and access to two insulated and boarded loft rooms with potential for playroom or study use, while bedroom three enjoys fitted wardrobes and a leaded casement window.

A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation.

OUTSIDE The south and west facing rear walled garden is designed for low maintenance, with sandstone and brick paving, established flower beds and borders.

Attached to the house is a loggia and garden store/coal hole, with gated side access to RAGS Lane.

At the rear of the garden, a substantial semi-detached barn outbuilding — formerly stable, tack room and carriage store — now provides excellent workshop and storage space with original brick flooring and haylofts above.

Subject to the necessary consents, there is exciting potential to convert this building into additional accommodation or leisure space, as neighbouring properties have done.
