Historical notes It is believed that The Old House dates back to around 1490 and originally had a thatched roof which was replaced in the mid 1920’s to tile. The property once belonged to the relatives of the of Lilleshall. Several generations of the family followed each other into the clergy, they then used The Old House in turn as their Rectory, and in 1908, the Rev. Mitchell was the last of these younger sons to officiate at St. Marys. It is believed that in 1917 the estate was sold. It is around this time that the property was divided into two houses and in 1949 sold to a local builder who lovingly restored many of the original features and returned to being one dwelling. The owner Philip Snow purchased the other divided cottage and is believed to have paid £600. He had to re-house the existing tenant in order to purchase it as a whole in one dwelling. Furthermore the detached garage was once the village smithy and the local estate blacksmith lived in part of the divided house. The current owner has undertaken further restoration and improvement work, which has lovingly been carried out to provide what is now a superb country house.

Description The Old House is an attractive Grade II listed house offering beautifully presented accommodation and set within stunning landscaped gardens.

The property retains features such as wide oak floorboards, exposed beams and fireplaces, whilst boasting luxurious contemporary fittings such as the under floor heating throughout the ground floor, and David Orton fitted kitchen and bathrooms.

The gardens are a particular attractive feature, offering year round interest with a wide range of mature trees.
