Property Description

Approached via a paved driveway flanked on either side with paddocks and large wildlife pond stands this impressive Grade II listed, character property. Dating back to the 17th Century the house was originally farm cottages that have been altered and extended over time to provide a substantial four bedroom, family home. There are fabulous period features throughout that blend seamlessly with contemporary features that you would expect for modern living arrangements.

The property stands on a 3 1/2 acre plot that has just the most amazing views for miles. Standing in the rear garden you can see views over three counties that take in the vistas of churches for Ashwell, Guilden Morden and Dunton. Encompassed by farmland and pastures it is a super location to enjoy the varied wildlife that surround the property and grounds and has road free access to walking trails.

There is ample parking and a double garage that once formed the stables. There could be the potential to develop this space subject to the usual consents.
