4 bedroom detached house

Property Reference MCB

This magnificent house, has four bedrooms, and two additional rooms in the attic, this family home is presented to the market as a truly unique opportunity.

This property was built around the year 1560 as a charming detached period residence and the main structural timbers were part of a Spanish Galleon captured by the British and taken to Chatham to be broken up, some of the timbers being sold for buildings. The architectural features of the exterior are the horizontal proportions of the ground floor, first floor and roof which suggests a gradual growth and provides a very pleasant effect.

The Lounge with its oak stanchions, main beams and half timbers, black with age, gives a very restful and satisfying atmosphere which visitors are loathe to leave after enjoying its comfort; being well furnished with antique period furniture, it has a charm and beauty of olden times. The lounge has a superb inglenook fireplace featuring a fireback plaque dated 1588 and a coat of arms plaque, heavy oak bressumer and niches either side with leaded windows. In the study we have a stone fireplace with fireback dated 1618.

Situated on New Barn Road the grounds have several stately trees, including walnut, chestnut, ash, yew and others.

There is so much character to this magnificent building, that it requires a viewing to take in all the many wonderful features.
