Abbots Dwell is a very pretty Grade II listed thatched house with a Tudor timber frame. The accommodation is beautifully presented with many period features and exposed timbers facing out over a large and sheltered courtyard terrace. This much loved family home is, unusually for a period house, light and airy with the rear of the house facing south over the private gardens. The accommodation is flexible with a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor which has a separate entrance and could therefore be self-contained. The lounge is a later extension to the house and provides a generous and light entertaining space. There are two staircases to the first floor, which gives the option of the bedrooms being connected as they currently are, or closing a bedroom off to create a larger principal bedroom suite accessed by its own staircase.

Gardens and Grounds

The house is accessed from the lane via a gravel drive and parking area to the side of the house and in front of the garaging. The double garage has a room above which could have a variety of uses and is accessed by an external staircase. The gardens lie mainly to the rear and south of the house and are laid to lawn interspersed with some mature and well-established flower borders, ornamental trees and shrubs and the fenced paddock lies to the south and east. The property as a whole lies in a superb rural setting.
