. A superb opportunity to purchase a Grade II* Listed property in the popular village of St Osyth which offers a bustling village community with a range of popular village shops including butchers and post office stores. The property dates to approximately 600-700 years and offers six bedrooms and attractive gardens approaching half an acre (sts) and also incorporates a self contained annexe known as Little Priory Cottage. The property is of great architectural and historical interest and is a multi phase timber framed double cross wing hall house. The south cross wing is of approximately c1300 with a contemporary brick cellar, thought to have originally accessed from the street with a flint panel. Worthy of noting is the niche in the cellar believed to be a former bee hole where in these times honey was the only source of sweetening.
. The early cross wing of the property is of a heavy section with a double bracing pattern to the wall and a narrow doorway with an ogeehead which could possibly have been access to a shop at one time. Typical coastal timbers are used for the floor jousts.
. St Oysth's boasts no less than 91 properties of listed buildings and they range from village pumps to a milestone and a pair of ornamental urns at a local farm. Parts of St Osyth Primary and the church are the oldest remains in the village but there are many other buildings which are centuries old including this property and Priory Cottage. The Old House also offers a priest hole.
