A particularly charming and beautifully presented period house in a sought after village

Cridlands would be considered by many to be one of the prettiest houses in the village with its leaded light mullioned windows and central studded front door and whilst would appear to be detached, it is in fact attached to its rear neighbour. Listed Grade II, Cridlands dates back to the 17th Century. In recent years it has undergone a major sympathetic refurbishment including re-wiring, extensive damp-proofing, the installation of a downstairs cloakroom, renewal of a shower room and wc room and the refitting of the kitchen. The latter having an excellent range of built-in cupboards, well fitted with Bosch appliances with a double oven and induction hob, a dishwasher, underfloor heating and a wide opening to the dining room with fireplace with wood burning stove making this area a great living space. There is a study off the dining room and a charming drawing room with Minster fireplace with open grate and ceiling timbers. The reception hall with original service bells panel leads in from the front of the house and has a door into a cloakroom with WC, washbasin and cupboards. A turning staircase leads up to the first floor galleried landing and leads to the principal bedroom with well fitted en-suite bathroom and three further good-sized bedrooms, three of the four bedrooms having fitted cupboards and a newly fitted family shower room with shower. There is a separate WC.

Gardens and Grounds

The delightful façade of Cridlands provides perfect backdrop to the enclosed cottage-style gardens with lawns and a variety of well-chosen shrubs and plants. There is a gravelled path leading to the house from the side, where there are two storage sheds, parking for two average size vehicles and a kitchen garden.
