This magnificent home includes a beautifully preserved section dating back to 1899, built in full timber framing and rich with original features that give the property exceptional character.
An expansive hallway sets an impressive tone, leading to a stunning living room, dining room and charming kitchen complete with an old-style larder. Across the blue-stone courtyard, a separate outbuilding houses a practical utility room.
A light-filled garden room with French doors opens directly to the grounds and includes its own shower room, offering flexibility for guests or quiet retreat.
The property also benefits from a generous double garage.
Upstairs are five bedrooms, served by two bathrooms and a separate WC. Bedroom five provides access to a unique playroom above the garage, originally designed to evoke stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia — a whimsical, imaginative space unlike any other.
Outside, the home sits within 0.75 acres of thoughtfully designed gardens, arranged as a series of distinct, almost secret spaces that invite exploration and calm. Mature planting, secluded corners, and curated pathways create an atmosphere reminiscent of a hidden, storybook garden.
This is a rare blend of heritage, charm, and creativity, offering both grandeur and warmth in equal measure.
