Description:
With no onward chain, The Hermitage is an attractive Grade II Listed house which dates back to the 17th century, with later additions that reflect the evolution of the property overtime. The current vendor has made significant changes to the house including a recent very late and well-proportioned garden room. The accommodation works very well for a family due to the five reception rooms, and the five bedrooms with three bathrooms. The property has retained a wealth of its original character and offers extensive accommodation. In addition to the space in the property there is a separate one-bedroom apartment within the house, which can be accessed directly from the main dwelling, or via a separate entrance but offers options for an extended family, guest or staff. In addition to the main house, there is a very attractive late Edwardian stable and coach house block. This has been converted to provide a self-contained two-bedroom cottage/annex which can be used in a variety of different ways including a Home Office.

Outside:
The property is approached through electric gates beyond which there is a drive providing access to the adjoining double garage as well as parking. Gardens extend to the rear property, creating a private and tranquil setting and have been landscaped with a variety of trees, shrubs and plants. There is a vegetable garden, a potting shed and an ornamental pond. Directly behind the property is a very sheltered and private courtyard which is ideal for outside entertaining and dining.
