The Property
The Hermitage is a prominent and historic Grade II Listed building which dates from the late 17th century, with more recent additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. Of natural stone construction with a number of stone mullion windows, the front fa?ade has an imposing open porch with Doric columns. Having been in the same ownership since 1986, the house, while perfectly habitable, would now benefit from some updating. Internally there are a number of fireplaces, and in the loft are some lovely old elm floorboards. At the side and rear of the house there is a large stone outbuilding, reputed to be a former forge, which provides garaging, storage and a workshop. The well stocked and south facing rear garden is enclosed and very private, while a large terrace adjoining the house caters for alfresco dining.
The Accommodation
There are three reception rooms, all with fireplaces, with the sitting room having a fitted log burning stove. The kitchen overlooks the courtyard and there is a ground floor bathroom, with an adjacent utility room with shower. The main staircase by the front door is wider than normal and leads to the first floor landing, as does the secondary spiral staircase by the dining room The are four first floor bedrooms, one with extensive wardrobes, and a cloakroom. The spiral stairs continue to two further attic rooms with exposed timbers, elm floorboards and windows to either gable end.
Outside
There is a driveway to the right of the house providing parking for several cars. The front garden has areas of lawn and well stocked borders, with a stone retaining wall onto the small village green which has the Listed World War 1 memorial cross. Adjoining the rear of the house is a large and private terrace with a greenhouse and gated access onto the parking area. Steps lead up to a level south facing garden, with a large raised fish pond, a shed and several raised vegetable beds.
