Property description
A Grade II listed 18th century four bedroom detached house set in approximately 0.5 acres with views of Beacon Hill.
The property was formerly four Almshouses built by Lady Isabella Dodds. It dates back to 1746 and has a mixture of traditional and contemporary styles with character features including oak flooring, latch doors, fireplaces and exposed beams. The main house has two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, and two en suite bedrooms. The attached barn has one en suite bedroom and a large room that could be used as a bedroom or reception room.
Kitchen/Dining Room
The kitchen/dining room has glazed doors to a paved terrace with views of gardens and fields. There is a range of solid wood units and drawers. Integrated Miele appliances include an oven, a combination/steam oven, a warming drawer, a four ring induction hob and a dishwasher. There is space for an American Style fridge/freezer. A utility cupboard, concealed behind timber doors, has space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
Reception Rooms and Feature Walkway
The sitting room has views over the gardens and fields beyond, and an original inglenook fireplace with a dual fuel stove. A door leads to the dual aspect dining room which has a feature brick fireplace with an open fire, and is currently used as a games room. A glass walkway leads to the attached converted barn which has underfloor heating and includes two triple aspect rooms, with access to the gardens, which could be bedrooms three and four or a study and family room.

The Almshouse is approached via electric timber gates to a gravelled driveway which has parking for several cars. The gardens wrap around the property and are laid to lawn with a paved terrace, flower and shrub borders, mature trees and a timber garden room. The grounds measure approximately 0.5 acres and back onto the Chequers Estate with views towards Beacon Hill. The versatile garden room has power connected.
