Description

This Grade I listed Early Georgian house, once a school for John Constable RA, is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. The house boasts a grand Palladian facade and is an integral part of the village's street scene. Built in 1732, it has been a home for centuries, with many of its original features still intact, including the names of pupils etched into the brickwork. The property has been lovingly restored and maintained by its current owners, who have preserved its architectural integrity while making it functional and welcoming for a 21st-century family. The house features a grand Assembly Room, a formal dining area, a sitting room with French doors leading to the garden, a bright and functional kitchen, and six bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a period fireplace. The property also has a study, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. With its unique history, stunning architecture, and beautiful surroundings, The Well House is a truly special place to call home.
