A charming three bedroom listed house located in the centre of this well -
regarded village together with a delightful south - west facing garden
Forming part of Swan Street’s historic street scene, Old Castle House is
arguably one of Boxford’s most notable listed buildings. According to its
Grade II Listing, the house probably dates from the 16th Century, where a much
later, ‘castellated’ façade was added in the 19th Century giving its
distinctive Victorian frontage.
The main part of the building was originally a medieval hall house and as
such, the house displays numerous exposed wall and moulded ceiling timbers –
particularly to the front reception rooms. Beyond the rear lobby and adjoining
shower room is the kitchen / breakfast room, which is fitted on all four walls
with numerous cupboards and integral appliances, including an oil fired ‘Esse’
range cooker.
The first floor offers three well - proportioned bedrooms, with bedroom one
providing delightful views over the rear garden. A central bathroom serves all
the bedrooms, with bedroom three located to the rear of the house.
Attached to the rear of the house is a substantial, two - storey outhouse /
store, which provides scope for conversion – namely to be incorporated into
the principal accommodation.
Enjoying a south west facing aspect, the charming walled rear garden comprises
a shingle path which leads to a seating area of York stone, flanked by
established flower and shrub borders. The garden provides a secluded setting
which backs onto neighbouring gardens and the Box Valley beyond.
Agents Note
A gate in the garden allows access to refuse bins and for oil deliveries from
Swan Street. This also serves as a pedestrian right of way for one
neighbouring property to the south (No. 21).
