Greenboughs is a charming Grade II Listed property, believed to date back to the late 16th or early 17th century. Outside there are charming part-tiled elevations, while inside there are four bedrooms and a wealth of original details, including exposed timber beams and impressive fireplaces.

The main reception room is the generous sitting room, which has a double-aspect, wooden flooring and a grand inglenook fireplace. The ground floor also has a formal dining room and a well-equipped double-aspect kitchen with fitted units and vaulted ceiling.

There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, including the principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has its own dressing area, while there is also a shower room. Two separate staircases lead to further bedrooms on the second floor, both of which have access to eaves storage.

The house is set in a splendid country garden with an array of wildflowers and views across the surrounding fields and golf course. The gravel driveway is at the rear and offers plenty of parking space plus access to the detached, timber-framed carport and outbuilding. The garden is mostly to the side and front and faces southeast, welcoming plenty of sunlight throughout the day. It includes well-maintained lawns and colourful border beds with a wealth of perennials and established shrubs. There are also borders of hedgerow, fencing and mature trees.
