With three double bedrooms, one single and one en suite with its own separate staircase, this historic property is deceptively roomy, with generous reception rooms and living accommodation downstairs. “There is a great use of space” say the owners, “and a general homely feel with great big solid beams.” On the ground floor a huge kitchen/ dining room occupies the old bakery, with a bread oven remaining in situ. The main living room is cosy and welcoming with its inglenook fireplace and fully lined log burner, while two more living rooms and a games room offer supplementary relaxing and entertaining spaces. The property has been redecorated within and a new thatched roof put in place since the current owners’ arrival.

The outside space occupies a third of an acre, featuring an old stable block with proportions comparable to those of a double garage, as well as off street parking and an impressive driveway. The large mature garden is sunny and a pleasant summer entertaining space. “We have a massive patio and a great lawn for bowls and croquet” say the owners.

The location of the property in the heart of the village is ideal, too. “The house is opposite a friendly village pub,” say the owners, “with a top rated primary school around the corner and a hairdresser opening next door. The village shop is nearby, and there is also a lovely church and busy village hall. Another advantage is the wealth of country walks right from the doorstep.”*
