Property description

The Elms is a pretty Grade II listed detached property in the heart of the thriving village of Tilshead, surrounded by stunning countryside.

The original part of the property is believed to date back to the 17th Century with subsequent 19th century extensions. It provides comfortable, spacious accommodation for family life and entertaining.

This lovely house is well presented throughout with many attractive features still evident. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. The ground floor centres around a large open plan sitting room / drawing room with an inviting two-way log burner creating a natural break between spaces, and also a focal point. The spacious kitchen is finished to a high standard with a marbled top island and breakfast bar and an AGA. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a separate dining room, utility/boot room with WC, and a dual aspect play room or study with an open fireplace. The intriguing first floor accommodation has a versatile layout including six bedrooms; one of which could be remodelled to create an en-suite bathroom and dressing room to accompany the master bedroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms.

We thoroughly recommend an internal inspection to appreciate fully the size and scope of the accommodation available.
