LOCATED in the village of South Newington, this is a Grade II listed period house set in about 1.4 acres.

The property also has several outbuildings including a barn and garage, an old laundry, a former stable and a former village bakery. The house is built of Hornton stone and has been in the same family for generations. It offers comfortable accommodation with scope for sympathetic updating and possible extension.

On the ground floor, the cloakroom/shower room has a wash basin and WC and a tiled and screened shower cubicle.

The sitting room has a stone fireplace and period features that include exposed beams and built-in orginal cupboards. The dining room also has a fireplace, a fitted wood-burning stove and doors leading to the outside of the property.

The cellar is approached via stone steps and has power and light connected. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units including cabinets and a sink. There is also plumbing for a washing machine. Windows overlook the gardens and a door leads to the conservatory.

On the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom which has a bath with shower/mixer attachment. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms.

Outside the property is the former bakery outbuilding, which has light and power connection and still houses the original bread oven.

The old laundry is now used as a tool store but still retains original copper fittings and the remains of a large inglenook fireplace.

The gardens include areas of lawn and flowering plants and a wooded quarry.
