Character property with scope for extension/development. Starkey&Brown are delighted to offer for sale this 5 bedroom detached property dating from 1774, set within approximately half an acre, along with a large barn/workshop and outbuildings. Having been in the same family for over 100 years and steeped in history, this period residence has been sympathetically modernised by the current owners whilst retaining many original features and is on mains water and drainage. The house accommodation comprises: 2 Entrance Halls, Lounge, Dining Room, Snug, Breakfast Kitchen, Cloakroom, Shower/Utility Room and 2 sets of stairs rising to the first floor where there are 2 landings, 4 large Double Bedrooms, a Single Bedroom and Family Bathroom. To the side of the house lies the barn/workshop which used to be the local joinery and wheelwrighting shop and is mostly in its original 2 room form including unique tree trunk beams. This building has scope for development subject to the usual permissions. In between the barn/workshop and the main house is a wide block paved driveway leading through to the large rear garden which houses the four outbuildings and a variety of apple trees. The garden is mainly hedged with some attractive planted and gravelled borders close to the house. To view this property and own a slice of local village history, call to view today!

Vendor's comment: Wheelwrights Cottage and its workshop supported the local farming community within the village and outlying areas and were built around 1774 as shown on the date stone.
The cottage was originally sub divided into three separate domestic dwellings. As requirements changed, the cottage was transformed into two and then more recently a single unit. Care has been taken to retain as many of the cottage’s original features as possible; the double fan arch supporting the chimney breast, and some of the exposed timber beams and columns throughout the property for example. The original plaster on the walls has been replaced using sand and cement rough-cast render in keeping with the character of such an old building, plus the original stone work has been kept visible in the dining room, together with one of the original internal doors.
The workshop consists of two conjoined buildings - the joinery and wheelwrighting area. The building has remained largely unchanged and retains its rustic construction, with the exception of the roof, repaired in the 1920s and the windows, replaced in 2020 using oak that had been stored on the premises for many years. During its lifetime, the workshop has been used by wheelwrights to make cartwheels, sash window frames, coffins, and the restoration of an occasional wagon. Many of the original features still remain including the original fireplace/furnace, stone and wooden floors, together with the original work benches, plus templates for cart wheels, and many hand woodworking tools. Nails were handmade and you may well find several which were lost in the layers of sawdust on the floor over the years.
