Nestled in serene countryside, this charming Priory, originating from the 1200s, exudes historical elegance. Lovingly restored in the 1990s, it has served as both a cherished family abode and a sought-after rental property. Tall stone walls enclose the houses, each boasting its own garden and outdoor gathering space.
The centerpiece, the Priory itself, has a fascinating history and is said to have had secret tunnels connecting it to the church and other ancient sites. Spread across three floors, the Priory comprises six bedrooms, including luxurious en-suites and shared bathrooms. The ground floor hosts a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a grand sitting room adorned with a fireplace. Ascend the medieval stone spiral staircase to discover the bedrooms.
On the first floor, four spacious bedrooms await, two graced with ensuite facilities, while the third floor offers a versatile space, perfect for play or creative endeavors, along with additional bedrooms and bathrooms. The main garden, enveloping the eastern facade, features a tranquil swimming pool bordered by fragrant lavender and boxwood hedges. A wine cellar, double garage, and wood storage shed complement the outbuildings.
A medieval tower has been ingeniously transformed into a cozy self-catering apartment, complete with a sitting room, kitchen, and bathrooms on the ground floor, and charming bedrooms upstairs. Its expansive private terrace, lawn, and firepit area provide ample space for outdoor gatherings. Tucked away in another corner lies the poolhouse, featuring a modern kitchen, living quarters, and bathrooms, ideal for unwinding by the poolside.
This versatile property has thrived as a wedding venue, intimate event space, and bed-and-breakfast, embodying a harmonious blend of history, comfort, and rural allure.
