‘This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history'
Set opposite the charming St Thomas’ Church in Lydiate, and standing proudly within grounds of approximately one-third of an acre, this remarkable Grade II listed “Cruck Frame” cottage, (originally two cottages) is a home of true distinction.
Parts of the property date back to the 17th century and it has been thoughtfully restored and extended to create a modern family home with a unique blend of period character.
From the moment you step inside, the wealth of original features are clear to see with exposed chamfered beams, sash windows, and wattle and daub infill, all of which have been seamlessly blended with contemporary interiors.
The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall, an inviting lounge, a private study and a stylish family dining kitchen flowing into a modern sunroom with open views over greenbelt fields.
There is also a versatile playroom/dining room/5th bedroom, a modern downstairs shower room and a practical utility room, leading through to the separate drive at the rear of the property.
Unusually, three separate staircases lead to the first floor where you will find four generously sized double bedrooms and two further bathrooms -perfect for family life and guests alike.
Outside, the property is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, with established fruit trees and raised beds where you can appreciate the open views across rolling farmland.
The detached garage is a flexible space which could also be utilised as a business premise, workshop, gym or outside office.
There is a driveway island, created from a historic well, and ample secure gated parking, for multiple vehicles, enhancing the appeal of this exceptional home.
This rare and historic property offers discerning buyers the chance to own not just a house, but a piece of local heritage – beautifully restored for 21st-century living,’
