A picture-perfect stone built, Grade II listed, 18th century, thatched, former farmhouse dated 1754 and located in the old part of Geddington village. This beautiful, deceptively spacious, period family home has been much loved and improved over the years and retains many superb original features throughout. The house is steeped with charm and character yet very comfortable with modern comforts and deceptively spacious rooms ideal for entertaining, it has also been recently professionally re-thatched.
The charm of this beautiful home literally starts at the front door which is part glazed and has the most wonderful ogee arched details. On entering you are greeted by a central hallway with a stone tiled floor, original beams and staircase, there is a part glazed door at the rear that leads out to the cottage style garden. On the right is the first of three impressive reception rooms, this bright room with windows to the front and rear has masses of character with a beamed ceiling and an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burner. The next reception room has more of a Georgian feel with a window to the front with window seat and French doors to the side leading to the lovely south facing walled garden. This bright room also has a working fireplace and an original Georgian corner cupboard with panelled doors.
On the left of the hallway is the kitchen which has a wonderful traditional country feel with a range of fitted units with wood work surfaces and plenty of space for a family breakfast table. This superb room has masses of period features with exposed beams, a stone tiled floor and an impressive original inglenook fireplace that now houses a range cooker which is available separately. Adjacent is the dining room which again retains many period features including a phenomenal beamed ceiling, built-in cupboard and an original stone flagged floor, windows to the side flood the room with natural light and a glazed door at the rear opens to a patio area and cottage garden.
On the first floor is a spacious landing with access to all the bedrooms. The main bedroom suite is at the rear of the house is a really good size, there are part panelled walls and the bedroom having original wide floorboards and a high vaulted ceiling with beams and windows to the rear and side, there is a separate dressing area with fitted cupboards and an en-suite bathroom with a wash basin, toilet and a roll top bath, tiled floor and an attractive arched window with borrowed light from the bedroom. There are a further three double bedrooms at the front of the house and all with period features and character plus a further larger double bedroom at the far end of the landing which has a Georgian feel with a high ceiling, period fireplace, oak floorboards and windows to the front and side. The main family bathroom has so much character with a roll top bath and there is also a separate shower room.
Outside the property there is shared gravelled driveway with two other houses to the side of the house with access to a parking area and the detached garage which is at the rear of the house. The gardens at the rear are cottage style with a lawn, rambling roses and lavender and south facing so catch the sun all day. To the side of the house is a delightful walled garden, completely private and again another sun trap, it has a large lawn with mature fruit trees and vines, there is a patio area and pergola ideal for outside dining.
The village itself is very well serviced by a local pub, cafe, primary school and cricket ground which creates a superb community atmosphere for all to enjoy.
