Here, shaker-style units are topped with sleek quartz work surfaces, complemented by built-in appliances and a classic range cooker.

The private rear garden is beautifully maintained and laid mainly to lawn with raised beds, all centred around a large composite decked seating area. Adding to the magic is a fabulous shepherd’s hut — affectionately described as looking like a hobbit’s hideaway — with power, lighting, and a central fire and grilling area. Big enough to seat at least 10, it’s the ultimate space for gathering with friends, cooking, and relaxing late into the evening. The property is further enhanced by a gravel driveway providing ample parking, a detached double garage with electric car charging point, and a brick-built garden store.Combining 17th-century heritage, thoughtful modern living, and unique outdoor features, this is a home that truly stands out — all in a village setting that’s as convenient as it is charming.
