To Be Sold

Artichoke is a beautifully presented attached character home, steeped in history and believed to date back to the 1480s. Formerly The Artichoke Inn public house, the property was thoughtfully converted into a private residence in the early 2000s. Tucked away in a delightful semi-rural setting, this unique home offers generous, well-balanced accommodation across three floors - perfect for flexible family living.

Full of charm, the house showcases a wealth of period features including exposed beams, impressive fireplaces, and stone flooring to the dining hall. Complemented by established gardens, ample parking, and a timber-framed double garage, it offers a superb blend of heritage and comfort.

The main reception spaces include a welcoming sitting room and dining hall, both with striking fireplaces and beautiful character detailing. A family room and conservatory provide additional living areas, with the latter enjoying French doors that open directly to the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of traditional cabinetry and open shelving, together with a range cooker, integrated appliances, and space for an American-style fridge/freezer. A larder and direct garden access complete this well-designed space. Just off is a study, utility room and cloakroom.

To the first floor there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each benefiting from en suite bathrooms and one with a feature fireplace. The second floor provides two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom, while a fifth bedroom with its own bathroom is accessed via a separate staircase - ideal for guests or older children.

Externally, Artichoke is approached via a gated driveway providing generous parking and access to a double garage, one bay open, with external stairs leading to a useful first-floor store room. Further parking is available opposite the property, across Park Road.
