Tucked away in one of the village`s most desirable positions, The Retreat is a beautifully maintained detached home set within generous, mature grounds.

Hidden from Church Road behind a tall wall and neatly kept Beech hedge, the original part of the house dates back to the 1940s, yet has evolved significantly over the years with extensions and improvements.

The entrance hall leads through to a cosy sitting room with a fireplace and a log burner, along with a second reception room that works well as either a study, additional snug or possibly a downstairs bedroom.

To the rear, the spacious country style kitchen flows into a dining area that forms the heart of the home.

Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms and a well proportioned family bathroom.


While it offers very comfortable living as it stands, the size of the garden and the range of outbuildings (including a sizeable greenhouse) create enormous scope for those looking to extend or even redevelop, subject to the necessary consents.

The grounds are a major highlight, giving the property both privacy and an attractive backdrop. Double gates open to a wide driveway with parking for several vehicles, along with a substantial detached garage and workshop and a small barn with a hayloft.

A pathway leads through the garden to the house, which sits centrally, enjoying a sunny south facing terrace with an automatic awning beside the kitchen. The sweeping lawns front and rear are dotted with spring bulbs, fruit trees, specimen planting and well established borders.
