Description

Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Old Court offers fantastic potential for equestrian use, with a generous paddock to the rear, excellent outriding and potential for a manege and stabling. Equally, the property would be well-suited as a smallholding or other rural venture (subject to permissions). The Grade II-listed 17th-century home has been sympathetically modernised but still offers excellent character, including exposed timber spine beams, rafters, sash windows, stone floors and a beautiful wooden kitchen with a Rayburn stove. There are impressive fireplaces, including a stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and an original brick oven. Externally there is plenty of parking on a private driveway, a gravel courtyard and lovely rambling gardens with mature trees.

Internally the house is attractively presented, with the period features beautifully combined with more modern additions, and the layout is well planned to afford potential for an annexe if desired (subject to permissions). The total floor plan extends to about 2200 sq ft over two floors, with the bedrooms arranged separately affording excellent privacy, each with their own separate entrance or staircase. There is some degree of flexibility to the ground floor as the entrance hall is currently used as a striking dining room. The study would also make a great guest bedroom or home office, with a shower room next door. There are three good-size reception rooms, a sitting room, snug and garden room, all of which interconnect to make a fabulous space for entertaining. The impressive principal bedroom is also on the ground floor, which includes a shower room and dressing room.

Old Court is set within about 3.51 acres of land, including an enclosed paddock, mature gardens, a gated driveway providing ample space for parking and a central courtyard in a mix of paving and gravel. The grounds are versatile with great scope for a number of rural ventures.
