Property 

It is seldom you find a property with the versatility of The Red House. A fine family residence with 5 bedrooms, 3/4 reception rooms and 3 bath/shower rooms, The Red House is enhanced by a well equipped office annexe with residential potential (subject to the usual consents) plus a separate workshop and a renovated flint barn.

Listed as Grade II, the main house dates back to the mid 1500s, the brick façade appeared in the 19th Century and then a two storey addition in the 1980s. A separate Victorian barn, the office annexe, was converted in the 1990's.

The kitchen incorporates a range of fitted cupboards, an island unit, an electric 2 oven Aga and a walk-in larder. Partially separated by open studwork, the accommodation flows through to the dining area and the sun room with wonderful views over the south facing garden through the double bi-fold doors.

The house possesses an abundance of character with the quality timber frame evident in many rooms, along with an impressive inglenook fireplace and original bread oven, with fully lined chimney, providing a fabulous open fire feature in the drawing room. A further sitting room with a carved fire surround currently serves as a family/tv room.

A first floor landing with Tudor mullioned window gives access to a  well proportioned double aspect master bedroom and a shower room, with the adjoining bedroom currently used as a dressing room to form a master suite. A further bedroom overlooking the front garden has a staircase to the ground floor and a doorway to the magnificently vaulted first floor study/sitting room.

The newer part of the house, accessed through the dining room, comprises a spacious inner hallway, a bedroom, bathroom and utility room on the ground floor and bedroom and shower room on the first floor. This configuration could be ideal for those looking for multi-generational living (as could the office annexe if converted to residential use).

Outside 

The open fronted cart lodge and air conditioned office annexe, with its own 3 phase electricity supply, is accessed from the gated courtyard parking area, with ample parking space for multiple vehicles,  and is just a few steps from the main house. The recently renovated flint barn adjoining the house is accessed via a gateway to an inner courtyard. The Red House is set within a plot of 0.6 acre, the majority of which is laid to lawn with established beds, a wildlife pond, fruit trees and a number of larger mature trees. The workshop and store has power connected and there is also a Rhino greenhouse.

Services 

Mains electricity and water are connected to the property, Mains Drainage. Heating is provided via an oil boiler.
