The property is justifiably Grade II Listed with the oldest part of the property believed to date back to the 15th century, when it was constructed as an open-hall house, with various extensions and internal alterations carried out over the years since, most latterly in the 20th century. The result of this timeline of changes is a highly desirable home with spacious, sociable rooms offering a blend of traditional qualities which reflect a modern lifestyle. A new owner will have the opportunity to undertake the next stage of the evolution of this endearing home, A delightfully characterful village home set in 0.3 of an acre with with planning permission already in place to convert part of an outbuilding into a self- contained annexe. planning permission for an annexe. Internally the rooms are arranged in a simple, classical layout with the ground floor centred around two impressive fireplaces, which can be found in the principle reception rooms. The sitting room is a wonderful environment in which to unwind with a stunning inglenook fireplace, complete with bread oven and open fire, exposed beams and window seats creating a cottage atmosphere within this spacious and light room. Another delightful room is the kitchen, where the other central fireplace, now a feature, can be found. This expansive room offers plenty of space for a family dining table in addition to fitted, farmhouse-style kitchen units, amongst which there is a Belfast sink and an electric Rangemaster cooker, providing a fantastically sociable space suitable for all types of informal entertaining as well as for day-to-day enjoyment. This room is serviced by a utility room, where there is plumbing for a washing machine, and a ground floor cloakroom. Also on the ground floor is the conservatory which has been perfectly positioned to enjoy a fine, far-reaching outlook across the garden to the countryside beyond and thus provides an alternative place to relax and enjoy the benefits of the marvellous position in which Tanyard House is situated.

On the first floor the four bedrooms and family bathroom are laid out along a wide central landing. Many of the bedrooms exhibit great character, particularly bedroom four where a stand-out feature is half of a Hamstone fireplace the other half of which is in the neighbouring property which was originally one with Tanyard House. The master bedroom is a particularly appealing room which occupies the full width of the property and benefits from an en suite shower room and a generous built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors. Bedroom two and three also enjoy built-in storage, and there is a shelved airing cupboard which can be accessed from the landing. OUTSIDE Tanyard House occupies a generous, primarily level plot which amounts to just over 0.3 of an acre. The property is approached via a gated driveway culminating in a parking area for a number of vehicles, from which the outbuildings can be accessed; these comprise a timber garage and a large single storey barn which is currently divided into three areas; a workshop/store room, a garage room and a utility room, where plumbing is available for laundry facilities. Planning permission is in place to convert most of the barn into a self-contained annexe, offering the opportunity to create accommodation for dependent relatives or teenagers, or even to realise an income if desired. Full details and plans can be seen on the South District Council website, Planning ref: 11/03706/FUL. It is important to note that the timber garage was erected as part of this permission, thus protecting consent for the annexe conversion from lapsing.

The garden is arranged to the rear of the property and is primarily laid to smooth, level lawn with well stocked borders. Double doors lead directly out to the garden from the conservatory, representing a highly desirable indoor/outdoor lifestyle to be achieved here, with an easily enclosable plot ensuring security for children and dogs.
