Once the homes of the church verger and warden, they originals were converted in the 1980s, then extended by the current owners in the early 200s.

French doors open from the dining area to the rear garden, and a feature spiral staircase winds its way up to a mezzanine level.
The lounge area, with mullion windows and log burner, has a media style wall with inset TV, exposed stone walls and beams to the ceiling, while a bar area with an arched window has a built-in fridge with a butcher's block breakfast bar.
A double aspect multi-purpose room is ideal as a bedroom or study, and to finish off the ground floor there's a utility room and guest cloakroom with w.c..
An open staircase with steel balustrades and oak handrail leads up from the lounge area to the beamed first floor landing with minstrel gallery and exposed stone wall.
Three bedrooms at this level all have exposed beams, and include two double aspect rooms, one with an en suite shower room that has an electrically operated skylight window.
A modern family bathroom also has a skylight window with electric control.
