A PRESTIGIOUS property with origins dating back to the 1500s has been put up for sale with a price tag of more than £900,000.
The beautiful Grade II listed detached house has five bedrooms and occupies manicured grounds approaching half an acre on the Essex and Suffolk coast.
Formerly a public house on Thorington Street, in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Old Rose Inn is believed to date back to the early 1500s and was fully converted in 2007 to become a house.
Thorington Street is nestled in the beautiful countryside of Box Valley.
A spokesman for Fenn Wright, the estate agent selling the house, said: “When adapting the building, particular attention was given to retaining as much of the building's character, whilst creating flexible and spacious living accommodation.
“There is extensive ground floor accommodation offering versatility, with the sitting room and dining room boasting a wealth of exposed timbers.
“The stunning kitchen/breakfast room offers a triple aspect overlooking the gardens and has stone flooring with underfloor heating and a beautifully appointed kitchen with a mixture of granite and wooden work surfaces.”
The principal bedroom suite has a walk-in dressing room area and large en-suite bathroom with cast iron roll top bath and separate shower facilities.
It has lush gardens retained from Thorington Street by a high brick wall and traditional English rose garden.
The property has a guide price of £925,000, for more information on the home visit fennwright.co.uk.
