The property

Probably the best preserved building of its type remaining in England, The Yeoman's House, listed Grade II, circa 1400, is a stunning example of a medieval hall house.

Set in about an acre of garden, the present owners have lavished much care and attention on refurbishing the spacious accommodation and have hit on a great balance between preserving the original features and the addition of more contemporary details.

You'll be delighted at the fine timberwork, vaulted ceilings upstairs and some charmingly uneven floors.

The huge chimney breast in the double bedroom is particularly spectacular.

In contrast, the kitchen is completely up-to-date with striking red worktops and stainless steel units with all the modern appliances you'd expect.We think you'll be impressed by the garden which has been beautifully designed by the owner.

There are an abundance of flowers and shrubs, giving interest all year round.

The only choice you'll have to make is whether you sit out on the paved terrace or under a shady tree, both lovely for al fresco dining on a warm summer's day.

This really is an exceptional place to spend some time getting away from it all. The owners have a small two storey cottage within the grounds, located behind a tall Yew Hedge in its own very separate garden.

The owners may be in residence on occasion but are out of sight and will be discreet.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
