Our Considered View
A Grade II Listed Home
of Remarkable Character
There are homes that impress through scale, and there are homes that leave a deeper impression because they feel rooted in history, family life and place. The Priory does both. Behind its Tudor Revival facade sits a house of remarkable flexibility and quiet presence, evolved carefully over centuries yet still offering enormous scope for the next custodians.
The atmosphere is what stands out. The sweeping driveway creates a real sense of arrival, yet inside the house feels warm rather than formal. Generous proportions, beautiful period detailing and large windows reconnect the interiors with the grounds throughout. The drawing room with its striking bay feels particularly special, while the garden room offers a softer everyday space.
Multi-generational living feels naturally achievable here, with several areas capable of functioning independently. The attic rooms, former servants' cottage arrangement and substantial outbuildings all hint at further possibilities, subject to the necessary consents.
The architecture and grounds are exceptional. The kitchens, bathrooms and interior finishes belong to an earlier era and will reward thoughtful investment. The Priory will not suit every buyer, nor should it. This is a home for someone who sees beyond decoration and understands the long-term value of history, land, scale and provenance.

The Setting
Walled Grounds
in the Heart of the Village
Approximately two acres of mature, walled grounds set within the heart of the village. The front drive sweeps in from the road, the formal lawn opens to the south, and a structured rear garden built on box parterre, mature hedging and pleached lime trees runs along the plot.
A south-facing brick-paved terrace sheltered by a nine-foot red brick wall, layered with mature wisteria, climbing rose and clematis. A pleached lime walk leads the eye the length of the formal lawn toward a wisteria-clad pergola at the far boundary.
The original stable yard comprises four garages, an original tack room, a wine cellar with full racking, and a complete range of stores. Approximately 1,538 sq ft of ancillary space in total, with scope for conversion subject to consent.
