Temple House is a charming 17th century Grade II listed village house with exceptional gardens and outbuildings. The house is located in the middle of this most sought-after village and benefits from off-street parking and a generous garage. There is a lovely welcoming hall and beautiful staircase, large drawing room and charming kitchen which overlooks the gardens. The sale of the house, much loved by the current owners for nearly 30 years, offers a 'once in a generation' opportunity.

This property has 0.6 acres of land.

Outside

The gardens are a particular feature of the property being beautifully stocked, tended and landscaped with impressive yew hedging amongst its many attributes. There are three attractive and useful period outbuildings; currently a garage, 'party' barn and the original stables all with much potential for a variety of uses, subject to the usual consents. The 'L' of the garden is a less formal but equally charming orchard.

Overage provision: In the event of an increase in value on the Orchard, due to planning consent for development our clients will be due 35% of this uplift for a period of 25 years.
