DESCRIPTION
Town House is an attractive Grade II listed period home with origins going back to the 14th century but mostly dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The house is traditionally constructed of brick and flint, with a newly thatched roof. Part of the roof to the rear of the property and the adjoining outbuilding is pantiled. The property occupies a historic site with much of the garden originally forming part of the ancient Ingham Priory, which ceased to function before the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the early 16th century.
In September 2017, the property was involved in a fire, originating from the adjoining Ingham Swan. Structural restoration work has been completed, including a new roof structure, roof coverings, fire barrier, new thatch, new insulation to the roof and loft, and new conservation double glazed windows.
The property was acquired by the current owners in February 2021, who have undertaken further restoration and improvements including, new first floor structure, overhaul to the ground floor sash windows, new internal acoustically insulated partitions, new electrics and plumbing, new bathrooms, new carpets, underfloor heating to tiled bathroom floors, interlinked smoke, and heat detectors throughout. There are new smart heating controls (Google Nest E), new mains water softener, professionally stripped and refinished tile floors to kitchen/dining/garden room, new conservation style vertical column radiators. The kitchen has been upgraded and features new solid oak worktops, composite sink, and mixer tap, and Rangemaster Esprit range with induction hob and extractor.
The property benefits from well-arranged accommodation to the ground floor, with three main reception rooms to the front elevation. The reception hall is a lovely room, featuring pamment tiled flooring, exposed oak beams, exposed flint wall panel and an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. From the reception hall, the staircase, with storage below, rises to the first floor. Leading off from the reception hall is the sitting room, featuring exposed oak beams and some exposed brickwork, wood flooring and door leading through to the dining room. There is a lovely inglenook fireplace with pamment hearth and wood burning stove and shelved alcove to the right. The third reception room was originally the village shop and post office but has also been utilised as a children’s playroom, extra sitting room and studio. It is a bright and sunny west facing room with considerable glazing and glazed outside door and access through to the fourth bedroom/study and down to the cellar.
The dining room enjoys an east facing aspect with French doors opening out to the paved terrace. The room features some exposed brickwork, oak beams, flint panel and an original 15th century internal window. There is a feature fireplace with timber mantle.
The kitchen with adjoining breakfast/garden room is a light and sunny living space. The kitchen has a range of built-in cabinets with island, all with solid oak worktops. There is a 1.5 composite sink and a Rangemaster Esprit range cooker with 5-burner induction hob and extractor unit. There is space and plumbing for a freestanding dishwasher and space for a freestanding fridge-freezer. The kitchen features pamment tiled flooring, an exposed flint wall panel. The pamment tiled flooring extends through to the breakfast/garden room, which benefits from underfloor heating and features a set of bi-folding doors leading out to the terrace.
Leading off from the garden room is a shower room with walk-in shower, newly installed vanity with sink, heated towel rail and WC. Adjoining the shower room there is a utility which houses the boiler and offers space and plumbing for laundry appliances.
From the reception hall the staircase rises to the first-floor landing. The main bedroom features exposed brick and flint and a mezzanine floor with light and power and access to the loft space. There is a sliding timber door through to the en suite bathroom, which features Smart Controlled underfloor heating, freestanding bath, bespoke made vanity, heated towel rail and WC. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are characterful rooms featuring exposed timbers and brickwork. All bedrooms on the first floor enjoy a west facing aspect.
The family bathroom features Smart Controlled underfloor heating and towel rail, a large walk-in shower, freestanding bath, bespoke double vanity, and WC.
__________
OUTSIDE
The property is approached through a set of newly installed vehicular gates, which leads to the garage and space for off-road parking.
The rear garden is a striking feature with the neighbouring 14th century church forming a most wonderful backdrop to the south. The historic garden originally formed part of the site of Ingham Priory and remains of its cloister walls still survive. Later marl workings have produced the undulating topography which has created a garden of real character with areas of sunken lawn surrounded by shrubberies, comprising rambling roses, buddleia, honeysuckle, japonica, peony and many other plants. There are numerous specimen trees, which amongst others includes hazel, beech, walnut, oak, larch, sycamore, and holly. There is much underplanting of spring bulbs, wildflowers and various ground cover plants. Immediately to the east, tucked behind the property, there is a sheltered, paved terrace approached by bifold doors from the breakfast/garden room and French windows from the dining room. It has outside lighting, extending the living space in fine weather. From the terrace, a gravelled pathway meanders down to the main garden. The garden is a haven for wildlife, in particular birds, bats and butterflies and forms part of the local Conservation Area in the centre of Ingham. The gardens and grounds, in all extend to approximately 0.64 of an acre (stms).
