The Old Dukes Head is a wonderful example of a Grade II listed home. Believed
to date back to the mid - 1600s (described in its listing as a C17 timber framed
and whitewashed brick infill cottage), the house has, in its history, been an
Inn with original Georgian wall murals from this period, having been uncovered
in what was the bar.
The accommodation is as seen in the enclosed floor plans and whilst retaining
a large number of original and period features, the house has been remodelled
to cater for modern family living. There are three separate staircases within
the house, open fireplaces, exposed beams and terracotta flooring - all adding
to its undoubted charm.
Adjacent to the house is a large, four car garage with separate gym to the
rear. Behind the house, discreetly positioned to the edge of the gardens, is a
good sized workshop with power and light.
Approached from the village lane along a 120ft sweeping, gravelled driveway
leading to the front of the house and the large 4 car garage, the gardens to
the front of the house are laid mainly to lawn, are private and interspersed
with mature tree and floral beds.
To the rear of the house is a good sized terrace with a well. From here, lawns
and footpaths lead across the gardens, passing the large pond with feature
walkway and down to the hard tennis court and summer house. There is a further
area of lawn beyond the tennis court with open views.
Services: Gas central heating, mains drainage, electricity and water.
