Walnut Tree Cottage is a charming, attached, Grade II listed village house with brick elevations under a clay tile roof. It has a wealth of period features throughout including fireplaces and many exposed timbers in walls and ceiling beams. The current layout of the property comprises 6 bedrooms and 5 reception rooms arranged over three floors in the main house at the front of the property and over two floors in the barn to the rear.
Our clients have obtained Listed Building Consent to change the layout considerably to allow the accommodation to be used in a more conventional way but without losing any of the charm of the beautiful buildings. The changes can be seen on the plans included and are listed above.

Outside
To the front of the main house the front façade is wisteria clad and there is a pretty front garden accessed from the lane via a pedestrian gate. To the side of the house is a gravel parking area for a couple of cars.
The rear garden is delightful with a large terrace and rose garden and there is a walled area sheltering a heating swimming pool and poolhouse. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with outstanding views over fields to the rolling hills beyond. This is the perfect location to enjoy this magnificent peaceful haven.
