Description - Willow Wray is a delightful and substantial Grade II Listed family home. The charming original thatched house offers a range of historic features from inglenook fireplaces through to exposed period ceiling timbers. The first floor has been thoughtfully extended and now boosts a recently renovated and modernised oak clad single storey extension which could be used as a single storey annexe if required.
The property is surrounded by beautiful gardens comprising of gently sloping lawns with terraced vegetable and flower beds, established shrubs and a section of woodland to the rear.

Accommodation - A stable door from an open fronted thatched porch leads into a spacious entrance hall with woodburner and stairs rising to the first floor. To the right of the entrance hall is a period featured, dual aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace, woodburner and original spiral stairs leading to Bedroom 2. To the left of the entrance hall is a kitchen with wall and floor mounted units, a 5-door Aga and a door leading to a ground floor WC, larder and separate utility room with doors out to the gardens.

Stairs lead from the central hall to a first floor landing off which are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The landing gives access to a versatile, single storey extension, recently renovated, extended, insulated and oak clad in 2017. The extension comprises a family bathroom with rain shower, double bedroom with en suite bathroom and a second sitting room. Both bathrooms are recently fitted. The extension is currently used as part of the main house but would be a useful annexe if required, having external access and its own patio area.
