Property Description

Tucked away within an idyllic rural setting and surrounded by open countryside, this truly exceptional period home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property of immense character, charm, and historical significance. Believed to date back to 1638, the property has been sympathetically maintained and beautifully presented, retaining an extraordinary wealth of original features including exposed stone walls, ancient timber beams, deep-set stone mullioned windows, original bread oven, quarry tiled floors, and striking inglenook fireplaces. From the moment you approach the property, it is clear this is a home of remarkable individuality.

The upper floors provide four spacious double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a wealth of adaptable landing and study space, ideal for modern family living. Externally, the gardens are every bit as enchanting as the house itself. Mature and thoughtfully landscaped, they wrap around the property and feature sweeping lawns, flowering borders, fruit trees, tiered planting beds, and secluded courtyard seating areas, creating a magical setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the surrounding countryside. This is far more than just a house; it is a one-of-a-kind home rich in history, personality, and warmth, offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for those seeking something unique

Accommodation Comprises

The property is approached through a charming wooden archway, with steps leading up to a beautifully maintained lawned front garden. Stepping stones meander through the garden to a timber gate set within an attractive stone-built wall, opening into a delightful gravelled courtyard adorned with an abundance of mature potted plants. This sheltered space provides a wonderfully welcoming first impression and perfectly complements the character of the home.

Entrance Porch

A canopy porch with courtesy lighting shelters a traditional timber entrance door with glazed panels, opening into a quaint entrance porch with quarry tiled flooring, exposed stone walls, and an original hatch feature. This delightful space immediately sets the tone for the accommodation beyond.

Kitchen

Without doubt the heart of the home, the stunning farmhouse kitchen is an extraordinary room bursting with rustic charm and authenticity. The kitchen is fitted with a range of handcrafted base units with solid wooden work surfaces incorporating a deep Belfast sink with mixer tap, integrated undercounter fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a traditional Rayburn range cooker with hot plates, double ovens, and warming drawer.

The room is rich in original architectural details, including exposed stone walls, arched stone openings, alcoves with timber shelving, and a beautifully preserved original bread oven which could potentially still be used as a bread or pizza oven. A recessed pantry area offers additional fitted units and shelving, centred around a deep-set stone window overlooking the garden.

Soaring vaulted ceilings with a mezzanine-style apex and high-level window flood the room with natural light, while triple-aspect timber-framed double glazed windows frame views of the surrounding gardens. Quarry tiled flooring and a striking suspended timber and wrought iron light fitting create a truly unforgettable kitchen that is both practical and breathtaking.

Inner Hallway

Stone steps descend from the kitchen into an atmospheric L-shaped inner hallway featuring quarry tiled and slate flooring, exposed stone walls, exposed ceiling beams, and deep-set timber-framed windows overlooking the garden. A stable-style door provides access to the rear courtyard, while further doors lead to the utility/WC and principal lounge.

Utility Room/Cloakroom

Beautifully styled to complement the character of the home, the utility room and cloakroom comprises a low flush WC and a handcrafted chopping-block style unit with inset wash basin and plumbing beneath for a washing machine. Quarry tiled flooring, exposed beams, deep stone window reveals stained glass detailing, and exposed stone walls ensure even this practical room is full of charm.

Lounge

The principal reception room is a magnificent and highly versatile space of exceptional proportions. Centred around a spectacular inglenook fireplace with exposed stone surround, substantial oak beam, and cast iron log burner, the room is the perfect place for cosy evenings and entertaining alike.

Character features are abound, including exposed stone walls, original timber beams, quarry tiled flooring, and traditional stone mullioned windows. The generous proportions allow for multiple seating areas, while timber-framed double doors and a floor-to-ceiling picture window open to and overlook the side garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

An original turned timber staircase rises gracefully from the lounge to the upper floors, further enhancing the home’s historic character.

Garden

The gardens and grounds are a truly enchanting extension of the home, perfectly complementing its character and idyllic countryside setting. Wrapping gracefully around the property, the gardens have been lovingly cultivated to create a series of beautifully established outdoor spaces that feel both private and wonderfully connected to the surrounding landscape. Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds are interspersed with mature flowering trees, fruit trees, established shrubs, and an abundance of seasonal planting, including colourful circular flower beds and naturalistic wildflower borders that bring texture, movement, and year-round interest.

Stone steps and meandering pathways lead through tiered raised beds and thoughtfully planted borders, revealing new vantage points from which to enjoy the gardens and the peaceful surroundings. Mature hedging and trees provide a high degree of privacy and shelter, while beyond the boundaries the property enjoys uninterrupted views across rolling countryside and neighbouring farmland, where grazing sheep and open fields create an unmistakably tranquil and quintessentially rural backdrop.

Tucked to the side of the house is a particularly charming courtyard terrace, beautifully enclosed and evocative of a Mediterranean courtyard garden. This sheltered and sun-drenched space is ideal for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or relaxed evenings with family and friends. Altogether, the gardens offer an exceptional lifestyle opportunity, combining the romance of an established country garden with breathtaking views and the serenity of an utterly idyllic setting.
