The Property

The Priory is a historic building listed Grade II* meaning it is of particular architectural merit and its believed to date back in part to the 16th century. This impressive property is constructed of an original internal timber frame, hidden behind attractive red brick elevations. The accommodation is laid out over three floors, with the attic space providing two bedrooms owing to the high pitch of the tiled roofline.



On entering this wonderful piece of history, you will be welcomed into the impressive dining hall. At the front of the property you will also find the elegant drawing room with large bay window, the cozy sitting room and boiler room. The inner hallway then provides access into the kitchen/breakfast room, study and utility room – with access to both the courtyard and formal gardens. The kitchen / breakfast room is a light, split level room with a handmade wooden kitchen to the Southern end. Adjacent is a further utility room ideal for food storage or as a scullery. The conservatory/vinery is to the rear of the property with lovely views over the south facing gardens.



The first floor has five bedrooms principally laid out around the central landing, with two cloakrooms, family bathroom and two en-suites. In addition, the bedroom located to the rear of the property has a spacious dressing room, which could easily be transformed into an en-suite to further the accommodation. On the second floor are three further rooms with a shower room – ideal for teenagers or as office space.



Outside

To the front of the property is a pretty front garden with iron railings, lawns and flower beds. To the side, double wooden gates lead into a gravelled courtyard which provides ample off road parking with a number of outbuildings surrounding. The outbuildings include: a barn, garage, original stables and general garden stores – in addition to a detached coach house. The coach house is a flat to the first floor level, being currently let on a short hold tenancy offering a good monthly income. A gate leads through to the formal gardens and immediately you will notice a stunning Willow Tree which provides shade and shelter, naturally splitting up the gardens. Beyond is a pond with productive vegetable gardens to the rear of the plot. In all 0.47 acres (sts)
