Standon High Street is one of the most picturesque in the area and Little Bear forms an important part of the delightful street scene. The oldest part of the house possibly dates from the early 18th century, but the property had a brick façade added to the front of the building during the Georgian era and the windows were almost certainly changed to sash windows when the house was re-modelled. In more recent years, the back of the house has been extended into outbuildings to create sizeable and very flexible ground floor accommodation including a hall with staircase to the first floor, a cloakroom with a utility area. There is a sitting room with a working fireplace and an archway to the dining room. Reached from the hall, there is a family room with a fireplace. The kitchen has a range of base and wall storage cupboards and an oil fired Aga, behind this there is a study and a ground floor bedroom with an adjoining shower room. There is also a generous utility room and an attached brick building currently used for storage. Two staircases lead to three first floor bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are also two eaves rooms, one suitable for a child’s bedroom and a further room for storage.Outside, the property is approached from the High Street through a pair of timber gates which lead to a gravelled parking area and to the garage. To the side of the property there is a south facing terrace, steps lead to a further well-established garden with an exercise pool.Steps lead to the tiered upper garden which is partially walled and has very fine views. There is a relatively modern oil fired heating system, two modern megaflow hot water cylinders and the two bathrooms and shower room have been upgraded in relatively recent times. There is some scope for modernisation.
