Clee House is a wonderful family home which was originally part of the Kinlet Estate, before it became a freehold private property in 1974, when it was fully renovated. It is thought that it was once a tenant farmer's house, previously known as Norton Ends Cottages. In 2005 the house was extended, which has been thoughtfully done to be in keeping with the original Tudor part of the house. Today, the house is a wonderful country house which has been enjoyed by the current owners as a family home for the last 15 years. The house is filled with natural light and has exposed beams and brickwork in some parts of the house. The house is accessed via a gated long gravel drive with pretty meadow gardens, scattered with mature trees on either side. The driveway extends into a spacious parking area in front of the house, with an oak framed porch providing access to the front door which opens into the entrance hall. The ground floor is fitted with limestone tiles and underfloor heating, with exception of the kitchen, with radiators on the first and second floor. Off the entrance hall is a cloakroom along with access into the reception rooms; on your right is the sitting room, with a door leading outside to the side garden, an alcove fitted with bookshelves and an inglenook fireplace with a Clearview woodburning stove.
