"A fine Victorian country house in a tucked away location in this pretty hamlet, with guest lodge, detached barn, tennis court and 2.5 acres of gardens and grounds.

Barn House Tucked away in a quiet corner of this pretty riverside hamlet, Barn House stands in a private, elevated location surrounded by its own grounds and gardens.

Full of Victorian charm and features including high ceilings, an open fire, large windows and polished floors, the house has been extended over the years whilst retaining the period charm of the original house.

There is a welcoming porch and panelled hallway, a large and well fitted kitchen with island and appliances, a lovely oak garden dining room with vaulted ceiling and a cosy family room with bifold doors to the garden. There is also an elegant drawing room with two bay windows with views over the terrace and gardens, a study and a cloakroom and utility room.

Upstairs, there are four spacious bedrooms and two bath shower rooms, one exceptionally large with stand alone bath.

The Long Barn Guest Lodge Across the courtyard from the main house, is the charming timber clad detached guest lodge. This has light and bright accommodation, vaulted ceilings and exposed oak timbers. There is a sitting room with doors to the terrace, a spacious bedroom and shower room. This is regularly rented out providing a useful income.

At the other end of the annexe is the garage, this could be incorporated into the guest lodge to create a second bedroom if required stc .

Thatched Barn The wonderfully atmospheric Grade II Listed, thatched barn stands sentinel to the Barn House. The barn is at least 400 years old and there is nearly 1,000 sq ft of space set over two floors with a mezzanine. In recent years, it has been used as storage, a gym and party barn.
