Believed to originate from the late 15th Century, with further additions in the 16th and 17th Centuries this attractive Grade II listed property is timber framed with rendered elevations over brick plinth and under a reed thatch with three eyebrow dormers and pan tiled roof. The property boasts attractive period features including inglenook fireplaces and a wealth of exposed beams. The accommodation is arranged for family living and entertaining alike, with room for guests. Outside Cardinals Pen is approached through a gated entrance leading to a large driveway with extensive parking and the cart lodge garage with office / gym over. To the front, lawns flank a path to the front door, with borders and mature trees providing privacy. Immediately to the rear, the house opens out to an extensive dining terrace, ideal for alfresco entertaining beyond which is a formal parterre garden. The wider gardens and grounds are arranged into large compartments bounded by hedges and fencing with both formal lawns and an informal wildlife meadow.
