With many features typical of the periods including inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, elm flooring, mullioned leaded windows, cellar and more, plus a separate self-contained cottage within the substantial grounds. The historical interest in the property is uniquely enhanced by the fact that it was once owned by one John Barnard and his wife Elizabeth – the granddaughter of William Shakespeare!

Exposed elm flooring is across the ground floor receptions and hallways, and stone mullion leaded windows are found throughout most of the house. The lounge retains the original Tudor fireplace, and the bespoke kitchen not only has a 4-oven Aga, but a Rangemaster hob, oven and plate warmer in support. The walk-in larder and prep’ kitchen are typical of the period.
