An elegant period house dating from the mid 17th century with a self contained annexe and a detached office building, all arranged around delightful landscaped gardens. The house contains many original details of the period including carved oak doors and panelling. It was considerably extended circa 1860 at the rear with a handsome Neo-Classical façade influenced by Victorian Italianate designs with stone quoins, window dressing and parapets. A short time later in 1878 the self contained annexe - then the Brew house was connected to the main house by a two storey link. In addition the whole façade of the front of the house was altered to provide ornate tile hung elevations to the upper half and rendering within timber framing to the lower section. The porch was added together with stained glass panels to the front door and main window. Vision House, formerly the Coach house was refurbished by the present owners in 1999/2000 and provides B1 office accommodation of 1873 sq ft together with garaging, garden room, kitchen and workshop/store. The offices have been let at £900 pcm on licence agreement. The Annexe has been let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy at £620 pcm. Today the property also offers superb family living accommodation with the considerable benefit of the 2 bedroom annexe and office building close to this delightful market town.
