Stonecroft House is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented Grade II listed village house, that has undergone a number of improvements since the current owners acquired the property, offering a blend of period charm and modern comfort. With four double bedrooms, generous wraparound gardens, a timber-clad garden office, and off-street parking for 2–3 vehicles, this property provides space, character, and versatility in a sought-after countryside setting.

The home opens into a welcoming hallway with traditional half-height wood panelling and flagstone flooring that continues into the sitting room, where French doors, shutters, and dual garden aspects create a light, inviting space.
