A beautiful Grade II listed thatched period house, retaining many original features, set within mature and private gardens and grounds extending to 0.57 acres with detached double garage and self-contained annexe/studio and located within this highly sought-after village

The property enjoys a pleasant position, set back from the road within mature and private gardens and grounds extending to 0.57 acres and conveniently placed for the city centre plus excellent commuter links are just a short drive away. The property originally dates back to the 1700s, of timber frame construction with rendered elevations under a part thatched, part tiled roof. The current owners have periodically improved and maintained the property, resulting in beautifully presented and versatile accommodation, yet with great care taken to preserve much of the original character and charm associated with the era. The property boasts a large detached double garage with adjoining workshop and a self-contained, independent annexe/studio, perfect for dependent relatives or a space in which to work.

The accommodation comprises an entrance porch to a reception hall area with parquet flooring and fixed book shelving. This opens to a dual aspect dining room with feature fireplace and parquet flooring. The sitting room is also dual aspect with a beautiful inglenook fireplace with inset wood burning stove and a wealth of exposed timbers. This steps up to a snug area with feature fireplace with inset gas stove and exposed timbers. The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous family space, fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample Corian work surfaces, with inset double sink unit with mixer tap and drainer, a central preparation island with a granite top and cupboards below, an oil fired Stanley range style cooker which also provides heating and hot water as well as cooker. Furthermore, there is a two ring ceramic hob, combination oven and extractor, ceramic tile flooring and a fitted window seat. Just off is a handy utility/boot room with a cupboard housing a washing machine and tumble dryer and leading to the family bathroom, plus a door to outside. There is a large ground floor master bedroom beyond with fitted wardrobe cupboards and an en suite shower room.
