16 THE GREEN is a fine Grade II listed village house standing prominently overlooking the village green. This landmark house has been a much-loved family home known locally as The Green Welly Nursery which operated from the outbuildings. Both the house and outbuildings offer a great opportunity for a programme of modernisation and improvement. The extensive outbuildings offer enormous opportunities for either dual occupation, a business from home or perhaps development into a number of holiday lets, subject of course to planning approval. The grounds are also a particular feature with a high degree of privacy with covered swimming pool. No. 16 can be approached from the green via the original carriage driveway set behind classic iron railings giving access to the front door and accommodation that briefly comprises an elegant RECEPTION HALL - with original staircase, leading to two dual-aspect formal reception rooms with marble fireplaces. KITCHEN with a large walk-in shelved larder, separate BREAKFAST ROOM, UTILITY and SHOWER ROOM. On the FIRST FLOOR is a split-level LANDING, FOUR BEDROOMS, a DRESSING ROOM/BEDROOM 5 and a FAMILY BATHROOM, whilst on the SECOND FLOOR is a LARGE LANDING and two further ATTIC ROOMS.

Outside
Adjoining the house are two useful store rooms, a WC and an archway through to gardens. Opposite this is the substantial detached two-storey building most recently utilised as The Green Welly Nursery comprising on the ground floor, an office and kitchenette with five principal receptions and cloakroom. The first-floor has not been measured or inspected and is not on the floorplan, but is likely to provide a further usable space.

Beyond the parking area between the house and the nursery is a further area of parking and stable yard comprising tack room, two open cartlodges and four donkey/pony stables.

The gardens are principally to the southern side of the property and provide two distinct areas of lawn with herbaceous and shrub borders with mature hedging, vegetable garden with GREENHOUSE and enclosed SWIMMING POOL.
