8 Church Lane sits in the heart of this peaceful village with its charming stone facade looking out towards the village church. Built of local stone with a slate roof the house dates from the 1700's and retains much of its original character with features such as deep set walls, exposed stone and oak lintels whilst more recently the house has been extended and renovated creating a spacious, elegant home that combines historic charm with modern enhancements. The interior has been refurbished to the highest standards with details such as latch-handled doors, tongue-and-groove paneling, solid wood floors and stylish bathrooms and at the heart of the house is a sociable live-in Kitchen. There is an easy flow between the main living spaces, whilst bi-fold doors from the Family Room extend the house out to the garden and windows throughout the house make the most of the far-reaching country views. Outside the pretty garden has a sunny terrace and lawn bordered by established beds of mature trees and cottage planting, and there is the further benefit of a self-contained one Bedroom Annexe. With its immaculate décor, stunning reception rooms and sunny gardens, 8 Church Lane is a truly delightful village home, combining period charm and welcoming modern practicality in a lovely location.
