Littlefield House

Littlefield house is set behind gates and is located in a rural setting in Howe Lane and is a beautiful Grade II listed building which dates back to the 17th century. The property has been improved extensively and refurbished by the current owners. This has created a property of great character featuring exposed beams, high ceilings, stable doors and wall timbers in the original part of the house. It has been elegantly styled throughout to create a highly desirable home with a fantastic twist of both old and new and is set within 2.7acres of expansive grounds which could be potentially used for equestrian purposes. You can enjoy a high degree of seclusion and privacy here with its own private long driveway that will lead you up to the property.

The property offers over 3000 sq ft of flexible accommodation and has two reception rooms which both feature a wealth of exposed beams and a stunning fireplace with wood burner. A triple aspect dining area is open plan to the living room. A large modern kitchen with double aspect views which is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances, breakfast bar and French doors which lead into the conservatory. There is then a large L-shaped conservatory which has fantastic views over the garden with French doors opening onto the front terrace, this room is currently being used as a gym/snug. Additionally, there is a study with views over the garden and a cloakroom with additional built-in storage for coats, with a staircase that leads to the first floor.

As you walk upstairs to the landing area you will find two 17th Century bedrooms, one being the large master bedroom and a further double bedroom with brilliantly exposed beams, high ceilings and fitted wardrobes. Both these rooms have stunning views to enjoy. Also on this floor you have a three-piece family bathroom with rustic tiles on the walls and floor to keep in with character of the house. Walking through the master bedroom this takes you to the modern larger landing and to the newer part of the building with ample storage and doors to a further three bedrooms and another family bathroom.

Externally the property is approached through a five bar gate that leads down a long tree lined driveway. The driveway leads to a spacious parking area and the double garage. The well-kept lawns and mature trees combine to create a lasting and favourable first impression. The grounds to the rear are principally laid to lawn with laurel hedging planted around the perimeter. The paved sun terrace next to the house provides the perfect space for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the view over the grounds. An adjoining raised bed is planted with a variety of herbs. There is also a garden room and wood store which can be accessed from the terrace. This garden is a great space for entertaining, with a hot tub, outside kitchen and a fully lit entertaining deck area with beautiful surrounding grounds to let the children make memories while you sit there with a glass of wine and watch them play.
