A charming Grade II listed detached house of 16th Century origins, on a 1 acre plot with lovely mature cottage gardens, a herb garden and vegetable patch which overlook the beautiful countryside beyond, an outbuilding with lapsed consent to convert into a detached one bedroom annex and a double stable block with attached hen shed. An enviable spot in the high weald with beautiful views over rolling hills and woodland. The accommodation is arranged over three floors with five bedrooms (four en-suite) and four reception rooms on the ground floor. There are a wealth of period features including exposed beams, an Inglenook fireplace with wood burner, a brick ‘Beehive’ open fireplace, oak floorboards and staircases and interesting layout. The owners have retained many of the original features throughout whilst modernising to make this into a comfortable home. The house dating back Circa 1538 has benefitted from a frontal extension in the 1800s including two dormers, grey headers with red brick dressings and quoins, a further side extension in the 1930s for the addition of a kitchen and a 1950s extension to the rear including a sun room and sun flooded patio. Such historical extensions leads to the house benefitting from the features and feel of an old comfortable warm home with the addition of space and high ceilings for modern living. The new owners have completed extensive re-modelling, decorating and improvements ready for this sale. Adding new radiators throughout, re wiring, new carpets throughout, re configuration of the upstairs to add two modern en-suite bathrooms, they have added new French windows, re plastered walls and repaired existing sash windows. The kitchen/utility has been configured and a fantastic brand new modern bespoke kitchen installed.
