Old Place is among the most distinguished homes in the area, boasting an expansive garden rare for a village property. It is full of charcter and many of its orginal features, which will always be a talking point of the property.
Inside, numerous original features have been preserved and enhanced. Highlights include magnificent oak joinery, paneling, two Grade II listed doors, several stunning fireplaces, and original shutters, all seamlessly combined with modern amenities.
Not only internally is this house exceptional, however externally it is equally stunning, comprising several distinct areas, including a vegetable garden, fruit trees, and bushes. The back of the house features higher and lower terraces with ragstone walling, connected by steps leading to a lower garden with a large lawn, a pond with a jetty, and decking in front of a summer house. There is also a second ornamental pond with a well which we believe was added to the property by the victorians. . The garden includes a variety of mature trees and shrubs, such as a magnificent beech tree and a mature gingko tree. Paths wind through the garden, leading to an area of woodland with views over fields to the south.
Due to the size of the garden the property is being let with a weekly gardener.
