OVERVIEW Positioned close to the green in the centre of this pretty village, The Homestead is a traditional period house with parts reportedly dating back to the 1600s. Character features have been retained and include mullioned windows, inglenook/range style fireplaces and attractive stone façade. The layout is ideal for a range of buyers with a lounge, kitchen and modern wet room on the ground floor and three bedrooms (two of which are doubles) and a bathroom with freestanding slipper bath. A sun room has been added at the rear creating the perfect reading space. Forming part of the original farmhouse, two outbuildings and two walled generous garden spaces have been retained - keen gardeners will be delighted at the space on offer. Available with no onward chain, the property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

There is a block paved drive at the side plus double gates for access into the rear courtyard. Having a stone table and space for pots and furniture, the courtyard has access to the barn and workshop with steps leading towards the gardens. A narrow snicket measuring 1' 3" between the barn and workshop leads into the first garden area - this access gives the real feeling of a secret garden beyond.
The two garden areas are bounded by walls with the first lawned area perfect for play and recreation, planted with magnolia trees, flower borders and evergreens. A gate in the far corner leads into the orchard where the owners have previously kept chickens and grown fruit and veg - this private walled orchard has established apple, pear and damson trees. The garden is perfect for the amateur smallholder or keen gardener.
Adjacent to the house, the semi detached barn has two storeys and floor measurement of 11' 1" x 15' 3" (3.38m x 4.65m). Power and light are connected and there are double barn doors, hayloft hatch and window. The workshop across the courtyard also has power and light and is semi divided for a coal bunker/woodstore. Internal measurement of 14' 8" x 11' 4" (4.47m x 3.45m).
