The Longhouse is a beautifully refurbished thatched property (re-thatched 2018) which offers a wealth of characterful features with modern additions and styling and has the versatility to include annexed accommodation. The house has medieval origins with evidence that it was first built as an open hall house with a central hearth, smoke blackened roof timbers, and thatch that dates back to circa 15th C. All of which can be substantiated by an extensive archaeological survey commissioned by the previous owners. Various well preserved period features such as a plank and muntin screen, beamed ceilings and inglenook fireplaces, bread oven, and a late 18th Century Gothic timber window frame all contribute to the character and presence of the house. Thoughtful consideration has been given to the restoration and integration of these original period features, but throughout the entire house is an ambience of light and spaciousness; quite unusual for a property of this age.
The ground floor has a welcoming hallway with timber beams and panelling, which leads to the sitting room which features an inglenook fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove, an original bread oven and a timber beam ceiling. Adjoining the sitting room is the snug that provides further attractive reception space and also features a woodburning stove and inglenook fireplace. Towards the rear, the kitchen and dining room occupy a more modern addition to the home with French doors that open onto the garden, bespoke handmade fitted storage units, an electric Aga, a butler sink and space for a dining table. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry, a useful utility/boot room and a downstairs cloakroom. On the ground floor there is also a bespoke fitted office, a shower room and a family room with south facing double doors that open onto the front garden.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, one of which is accessed via its own private staircase above the family room, which provides the option of using this part of the property as a self-contained annexe. The generous principal bedroom has its own freestanding roll-top bathtub, while the first floor also has a family bathroom with a separate shower unit.
