DESCRIPTION Formerly part of the Chipley Park estate, it is understood the Grade II Listed house was built in the early 17th century and subsequently during the late 19th century a barn to the north-east was connected and converted into further accommodation. The property was purchased by the current family in 1964 and although many improvements have been made during this time, there is still plenty of possibility for a new owner to continue to make the property their own or divide into ancillary accommodation for extended family, subject to the necessary consents. The house looks out onto its surrounding gardens, including a number of outbuildings and a meadow and woodland on the opposite side of the road, in all extending to 1.4 acres. ACCOMMODATION The house offers the perfect space for family living and entertaining with its impressive L shaped passageway connecting the reception rooms and living space. There are many period features, including mullioned windows, exposed ashlar walls, moulded wooden doorways and exposed chamfered beams. The remarkable medieval porch and intrinsic front door lead to the passageway, which includes areas of exposed flagstones and brick floors. The reception rooms are all particularly light and enjoy separate aspects. The drawing room and sitting room have large exposed stone inglenook fireplaces and heavy bressumer beams over, with an open fire in the drawing room and a large wood burning stove in the sitting room. There is a large country kitchen with an AGA, extensive range of units, exposed flagstone floor and compartment ceiling. The service rooms include a former dairy which makes a fantastic utility room and a separate cloakroom. There are three separate staircases, however, one is currently not in use.
