4 bedroom detached house for sale

Old Harrow is a former coaching Inn, swathed in history with an abundance of character. It has been tastefully modernised, retaining all the traditional features but with the benefits of modern living; fibre broadband, electric car charger and double glazing to the majority of the property.

A spacious kitchen/breakfast room has exposed beams, limestone flooring and a range of modern units beneath an oak worktop with integrated appliances, including a Range-style double oven set into the inglenook fireplace. There is a generous separate utility. Located off the kitchen/breakfast room is a formal dining room with exposed timbers and original stone flooring and a lovely light dual-aspect family room with bi-fold doors to the patio area.

A delightful sitting room has an inglenook fireplace and a woodburning stove, exposed timbers and leaded windows. The home office is of a good size and ideal for home workers. There is a cloakroom adjacent to the office.

On the first floor is a principal bedroom suite with exposed roof timbers and an en suite bathroom with a separate bath and walk-in shower. Three further double bedrooms, all of a good size, share the family bathroom, which also has a bath and a separate shower.

Old Harrow is accessed via a gated driveway, which provides parking for several cars. There is a double carport with ancillary accommodation above and a shower room. Currently used by the vendors as additional office space, this would be ideal guest accommodation or would work well for multi-generation living. There is also a further single garage and stables.

The gardens and grounds are a delight, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. There is a private garden just off the family room, with a patio and further lawn area enclosed via mature hedging, making this the perfect space to dine al fresco. Beyond the drive is a further area of grounds, split between a large, mainly laid-to-lawn area and mature woodland that is full of wildlife. There is a private play area including swings and slide, a greenhouse, raised planting beds and an orchard.

Historical note
Old Harrow was originally constructed in circa 1650 and operated as the 'Harrow Inn' village pub. In the early 1900's a couple from Birmingham bought the pub, the pub was known to have been used by passing salesmen to/from London and was able to offer overnight accommodation. The pub closed in 1937 and the building was purchased in 1939. It is understood that the owners spent some months carrying out refurbishment and conversion from a pub thoughtfully transformed the property into a private residence. Subsequently, over many years the home has been passed from occupier to occupier with each owner making this fine home their own.
