Property description
A charming four bedroom detached period cottage (originally two cottages) understood to date in part from the 1500's and now Grade II listed with two staircases and featured on the Images of England website.
Most rooms enjoy views of either the church grounds or surrounding countryside and the accommodation comprises four bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, living/dining room, sitting room with inglenook fireplace, music room, breakfast room, study, cloakroom, ground floor bathroom/shower/WC and kitchen.
The property incorporates period features, including extensive exposed timberwork, leaded light windows, latch doors and the original bakers oven in the entrance lobby. Further features include oil fired central heating, mains drainage and a water softener.
This delightful home set in around a third acre grounds enjoys a tranquil location, adjoining the churchyard and is set well back from the road with views towards a meadow and the river.
The records of what is now known as Glebe Cottage, show that it was also known as Churchyard Cottages and that in 1544 Robert Nooke moved here. There is also record of a tunnel connecting the cottage to the church (St. Nicholas), which would indicate that it may have been used by him, or succeeding Rectors.
