5 bedroom detached house for sale

The Property

Dating from around 1620, The Dial House is an elegant, double-fronted, south-facing period home that perfectly blends historic charm with a wonderfully light and spacious layout. Despite its age, the property offers an inviting sense of flow, enhanced by high ceilings, large windows, and an abundance of character features throughout.
At the heart of the home, the dining room opens seamlessly into the central sitting room, creating a warm and sociable space, ideal for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room, complete with an Aga and breakfast bar, provides a relaxed everyday setting, while the playroom/study and adjoining shower room could easily be adapted to create a ground floor bedroom suite if desired.
An elegant staircase, noted in the property’s Grade II listing, rises to the first and second floors, where there are five generous double bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom, offering flexible and well-balanced accommodation.
Outside, the landscaped gardens are a true highlight, with formal lawns, colourful borders, and mature trees providing a high degree of privacy and tranquillity. The driveway extends through to Back Lane, offering ample parking and access to a detached double garage.
The property also benefits from pre-planning consent for a rear extension to create a spacious kitchen/diner.
