A handsome village house, Listed Grade II, with elegant reception rooms, enjoying a quiet setting and delightful views in this sought after village. <br/><br/>This particularly handsome old house is believed to have been built in the 1830s and is certainly worthy of its Grade II Listing. Beautifully preserved throughout, the house offers elegant, well-proportioned rooms arranged over three floors. On the ground floor, the receptions rooms include a dual aspect drawing room with a south-facing square bay enjoying lovely views over the gardens, a dining room with stone fireplace and a glazed door out to the south-west facing terrace, and a further dual aspect sitting room, also with a stone fireplace. There is a stylish, newly fitted Harvey & Wade kitchen featuring shaker style units, granite worktops, limestone tiled flooring, integrated appliances, and double butler sink by a window with delightful views towards the church. A sewing room/office and cloakroom complete the accommodation on this floor.<br/><br/>Further reception space is found on the garden floor, including a games room, study, utility room, original wine cellar, and workshop. The ceiling heights are particularly good and are not what one would expect of a lower ground floor. On the first floor, the bedrooms are all a good size, the principal bedroom being particularly attractive with a double aspect enjoying lovely views and an en suite bathroom with separate bath and shower cubicle. There is a further family bathroom with a shower over the bath.<br/><br/>Outside, there is excellent structure to the gardens and wonderful westerly and south-westerly views. Formal lawns stretch out to the south and to the west side there are formal terraces providing excellent sitting out areas.
