With records dating back to 1465, though possibly even older, this medieval masterpiece exudes history and charm at every turn.
From the moment you approach, this storybook home enchants with its traditional white render and tile-hung exterior, framed by a picket fence and a verdant front garden. At its centre, a magnificent magnolia tree stands in bloom, adding to the fairytale appeal.
Inside, original features abound, creating a home that is steeped in history yet lovingly maintained for modern living. The spacious kitchen is the heart of the home, where a retained medieval bread oven forms a stunning curved chimney breast, surrendered by a modern Stoneham's kitchen design with granite worktops.
The adjoining large central reception room, where a magnificent working inglenook fireplace houses the opening to the original bread oven, is a truly atmospheric space, while the dining room boasts a second inglenook fireplace, perfect for hosting by candlelight. A further family room leads to a practical utility area, an essential addition for country living with muddy boots and wagging tails.
A later addition, the orangery-style conservatory, bathes in natural light and offers idyllic views of the expansive gardens, a tranquil spot to enjoy the changing seasons. Outside, the expansive garden wraps around the home, revealing rolling lawns, colourful planting and a beautiful orchard. A garden room houses a hot tub, adding a little luxury.
The six-bedroom layout is as unique as the home itself. The principal suite features a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a dressing room with built-in wardrobes, leading to a large en-suite bathroom with a separate bath and shower, and under-floor heating. Another generous double bedroom is bathed in natural light with an en-suite shower room, while a third stairwell ascends to a whimsical loft room, with eaved ceilings and hidden storage. Three further bedrooms share a family shower room, one of which is currently a dedicated study - ideal for home working.
A large pebbled driveway provides ample parking, while a versatile outbuilding offers endless possibilities, featuring a central barn, a converted stable-turned-studio, and a workshop. This storied home stands as a rare and beautiful chapter in Nutfield's architectural history - waiting for its next chapter to be written.
