The Retreat is a substantial home of immense character with a long history spanning almost 350 years. Standing in mature grounds of 0.28 acres, next to the village church this refurbished home which is not subject to listed status has the benefit of a newly extended, family kitchen, added by the current owners in 2016.



The new, family kitchen hand crafted by DeVol features a high vaulted ceiling with four roof lights and bi fold doors open onto a large, private rear terrace. Four, interconnecting reception rooms, all individually styled enjoy a southerly aspect and French doors from the studio open to the front. A heavily glazed, walkway which is garden facing spans almost the full width of the property and a fully equipped utility room and cloaks/WC complete the ground floor accommodation.



On the first floor are four, double bedrooms and three bathroom/shower rooms. Set behind wooden gated a large, gravel driveway provides hard standing for numerous vehicles. Beautifully maintained, the garden to both the front and rear are well stocked and consistent with the properties great age are well established. To the rear a large terrace provides ample space for entertaining alfresco and steps lead to a generous lawn. Partly walled, the rear garden features a number of mature trees and the adjacent village church is a particular feature. As such homes rarely come to the open market, early viewing is recommended.
