The ground floor provides an inviting sequence of living spaces, beginning with an entrance porch leading into a practical utility and shower room. A well-fitted kitchen sits at the heart of the home, while the principal living room is a generous, atmospheric space featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace and access to a second entrance porch. The dining room enjoys a central fireplace and a naturally defined study area, making it an ideal setting for both entertaining and home working. Traditional exposed beams, timber features, and period detailing are evident throughout, reinforcing the home’s authentic Tudor character.

The first floor is arranged around a central landing and offers three generous bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in wardrobes and storage. A large four-piece family bathroom serves this level. A private staircase rises to the upper floor, where a fourth bedroom provides additional accommodation ideal for guests, older children, or a quiet retreat.

The external buildings further enhance the property’s appeal. A brick-built stable block with an adjoining garage or home gym has the advantage of planning permission for conversion into a residential dwelling, offering scope for multi-generational living or additional income (subject to final consents). A second outbuilding comprises a self-contained one-bedroom annex with a kitchenette and en-suite shower room, connected to a substantial storage area that houses the boiler system for the heated swimming pool.

The grounds are extensive and highly versatile, incorporating mature gardens, patios surrounding the in-built heated pool, a large allotment with greenhouse, and sweeping lawns. The land includes a paddock opposite the lane, an adjoining parcel of grazing land to the rear with separate access and further surrounding areas suitable for equestrian or smallholding interests. Together, these elements form a rare and comprehensive rural estate in a peaceful yet well-connected location.
