Tudor House is an attractive period house dating from the 16th century, and is believed to be the oldest house in the village.

The accommodation flows well, with a spacious reception hall leading to the ground floor reception rooms, creating an excellent entertaining space. There is an elegant and comfortable drawing room which is full of character with beautiful period beams and other original features, also with an attractive fireplace and doors leading out to the garden. Beyond the drawing room is a useful study, and across the hall there is a cosy snug, which also serves as a ground floor bedroom, with adjoining en suite shower room. The spacious dining room links perfectly with the kitchen creating an ideal modern day living space, with a seating area at one end and room for a large formal dining table. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinets, an Aga, and attractive fitted seating around the kitchen table, and there is a lovely outlook over the terrace and garden. There is also a boot room, utility room/laundry and cloakroom on the ground floor. An attractive turning staircase leads up to the first floor where there are four bedrooms, all with en suite bath shower rooms. In addition to the main house, there is a separate cottage with two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and sitting room. There is also a very useful detached garden office.
Tudor Cottage/Planning Permission
Planning Permission was previously granted to replace Tudor Cottage with a 3 bedroom residential dwelling. This permission has now lapsed but if this is a desirable consideration, enquiries should be made with the local planning authority.

The beautiful gardens lie mainly to the rear of the house and have been designed to enjoy sunshine throughout the day. A delightful garden terrace creates a courtyard feel, with areas of mixed flower borders and a small pond close to the house, and formal lawns beyond, together with specimen trees, hedges and topiary all creating a tranquil environment. There is also a summer house, and a vegetable garden and greenhouse. A gravel driveway around the side of the house leads to a parking area with a double carport and garage, and there is an additional parking area behind wooden gates at the front of the property.
