DESCRIPTION Merrythought is an idyllic stone & thatched period family home believed to date back c300 years. Originally a row of four terraced cottages it has been carefully converted to form one large property of considerable character, tucked away down a quiet unmade road within this highly sought after village.



The front entrance hall leads onto an impressive 30ft open plan drawing room/dining room with inglenook fireplace, Jetmaster and bread oven, beamed ceiling, three quarter length windows providing a fabulous garden outlook.

At the opposite end of the ground floor there is a snug with inglenook fireplace fitted with a Jetmaster, study area with exposed stone wall and access to the store room as well as a ground floor shower room/guest cloakroom making this a potential annexe/ground floor accommodation.



There are two separate staircases leading up to a spacious hallway off which can be found the master bedroom with built in wardrobes and recently fitted contemporary wet room. There are three further good size double bedrooms benefitting from either fitted cupboards or recessed shelving and a spacious contemporary family bathroom with bath and separate shower.



Externally there is a most attractive and exceptionally private mature South facing walled garden which is predominantly laid to lawn; with beautifully stocked flower and shrub beds and extends to
