"Offered with no upward chain, Paddock South forms part of a former Tithe Barn which is believed to date to the 15th Century. In the early 20th Century it was divided to form two detached residences by a local builder George Reeves, in the 1940's the two properties were then subdivided to provide two pairs of semi-detached cottages. This charming home boasts a wealth of exposed timbers and many other period features as well as those that have been incorporated into the property by George Reeves. Amongst these are architectural pieces salvaged from Hales Place Monastery including oak panelling, a substantial panelled door and a magnificent circular stone framed leaded light cartwheel window overlooking the front garden from the drawing room.
