The Old Fleece & Feathers The Old Fleece & Feathers was originally built in the 17th century and has recently undergone modernisation to create this stunning light, wellproportioned family home which is full of character and ideal for modern family life, with the added benefit of a self-contained annexe. Of particular note is the wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with double French doors leading to the terrace and the beautiful garden beyond. Leading directly off the kitchen is an impressive dining room which has the original beams and opens onto the sitting room which has a wood burning stove. There is also a galleried reception hall, study, family room and recently re-fitted utility. Upstairs the master bedroom has a new en-suite and dressing area with fitted wardrobes. There are three further bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and the remaining two bedrooms are served by a newly appointed family bathroom. To the side of the main house there is a large separate barn/garage with an annexe which has a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. There is also a separate timber clad outbuilding with clay tiled roof which has undergone significant refurbishment to create a stunning office with bespoke fitted furniture, new heating and a separate fibre connection. There is scope to convert the room above into more living accommodation subject to planning. Outside, The Old Fleece & Feathers is approached by wooden electric gates over a gravel driveway, with parking for several cars.
