This historic property, originally a Guildhall dating back to approximately 1428, presents a unique blend of medieval architecture and Victorian enhancements. Set within 1.2 acres of mature grounds, this home offers both privacy and the potential for further development. The structure showcases remarkable architectural elements such as open first-floor spaces with exposed queen beams that echo its storied past. The thoughtful Victorian addition includes an expansive reception room with elegant windows, enhancing the overall living experience.
The approach features a sweeping driveway leading to ample parking, surrounded by mature gardens providing a secluded atmosphere. Inside, the principal hallway leads to a dining room rich in character, featuring rustic timbers and a grand fireplace. Adjacent is the light-filled Victorian reception room with bay windows and a log-burning stove, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen combines period charm with functionality, while additional spaces include a snug, utility room, and ground floor bedroom—perfect for multigenerational living.
Upstairs features an impressive principal suite complete with dressing room and en suite shower room. Two additional bedrooms share another family shower room. The property also boasts a recently built lodge-style annexe offering flexible use options; it can serve as an Airbnb or family space with its own kitchenette and bathroom facilities.
Additionally, there’s potential for enhancing the brick outbuilding into further accommodation or utility space (subject to planning consent). A critical aspect to consider is the thatch roof: while weatherproof, it is nearing its lifespan and replacement options are available, which have been factored into the pricing. This home not only provides a living space steeped in history but also substantial investment opportunities in terms of renovation and multi-functional use.
