Description

This charming Grade II listed village house, Secretaries, is tucked away behind a high red-brick wall and electric gates, boasting a commanding yet private presence in the picturesque village of Bures Hamlet. With a rich history dating back centuries, the house features a Georgian frontage with sash windows and a pedimented doorway, hiding a medieval timber frame beneath. Inside, the reception hall makes a statement with its high ceilings, elegant staircase, and garden views, while the south-facing sitting and dining rooms soak in the light. The house has five double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with high ceilings and twin windows framing garden views, as well as a separate west wing with its own bathroom. The property also features a beautifully restored Coach House, perfect for an office or additional living space, and a spacious garage and two generous rooms. The walled garden is a tranquil oasis, with mature trees, beech hedging, and a large sun terrace. With its strong sense of community, unspoiled countryside, and easy access to London, Bures is a popular destination to live, making Secretaries a unique and special property.
