Description - Originally an ale house, known as the “Star and Ball” the property was believed to have been constructed by 1653 and was the regular meeting place of the Ford Manor Court between 1674 and 1811. Originally built as an L shaped timber framed house and latterly cased in brick and raised to three storeys in height during the 19th century. Dating back to the 17th century, Nox House is a striking Georgian property offering elegant and characterful accommodation across three floors. Rich in period charm, the home retains many original features, including exposed beams, feature fireplaces, and sash windows, all sympathetically maintained to enhance its historic appeal.

The ground floor features two formal reception rooms, a welcoming sitting room with a feature fireplace and a refined dining room with an inset log burner - perfect for entertaining. In addition, there is a superb family room with exposed timbers providing a versatile space, ideal as a playroom, home office or snug. The traditional farmhouse kitchen is fitted with an oil-fired Rayburn, serving both the central heating and domestic hot water, and is complemented by a practical utility room.

On the first floor there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a charming double room with en-suite shower area, a family bathroom, and a further small bedroom/study. The second floor is mostly dedicated to an impressive principal suite, boasting generous proportions and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with both bath and shower. Positioned off the landing is an additional double bedroom/study.

Grounds And Gardens - Externally, Nox House enjoys a gravelled driveway with ample parking and double garaging. The south-facing rear gardens are a particular highlight, with flowing lawns, mature and richly planted borders, a variety of specimen trees, and a delightful slate-tiled sun terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining. Set amidst beautiful rural surroundings yet conveniently located, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished period home offering both timeless charm and flexible family living.
