Ideally positioned in the heart of the village opposite the war memorial and green.

Stepping through the front door of this charming Victorian home, you're greeted by a welcoming entrance hall, with the utility room immediately to your left and the downstairs cloakroom to your right. The utility room is both stylish and highly functional, with built-in cabinetry, wooden worktops, and open shelving providing excellent storage. There is ample space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, making it a highly practical area for managing laundry and everyday household tasks. A large front-aspect window fills the space with natural light, while creating a versatile space that easily doubles as a boot room.

Opposite, the cloakroom is finished in a tasteful heritage green with half-height paneling, a wall-mounted chrome heated towel rail, and a classic white basin and WC, offering a convenient and thoughtfully designed space for guests and family alike.

From the entrance hallway, the home opens up into a truly impressive kitchen and dining space—the heart of the home and a perfect blend of classic elegance and contemporary comfort. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, this room is beautifully appointed with soft grey shaker-style cabinetry that runs along two walls, offering generous storage in both cupboards and deep drawers. The oak worktops contrast perfectly with the subtle tones of the cabinetry, while the stylish ceramic Belfast sink beneath the large front-facing window brings in natural light and frames a charming village view.

Every detail in this space has been carefully considered, from the tiled splash back in soft neutral tones to the full-height wine rack and integrated appliances that maintain the clean, uncluttered look. The kitchen also has a generous dining area, large enough to accommodate a large table with space to spare—ideal for everything from quiet breakfasts to dinner parties. Subtle recessed lighting casts a warm glow across the room, and the neutral tiled flooring offers practicality for busy everyday life. This is a space that invites you to cook, dine, gather and relax.

From the kitchen, a wide opening leads seamlessly into a spacious and inviting living room. The room instantly exudes character, with a feature fireplace adorned with decorative tiling and a wooden surround taking centre stage. The beautifully restored fireplace serves as a striking focal point, featuring an ornate cast iron insert with hand-painted floral tiles and a solid wood mantle that adds a touch of period elegance to the room. There's plenty of space for comfortable seating, making this the perfect area to unwind or entertain guests. Tucked neatly beneath the staircase in the sitting room is a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, ideal for keeping household essentials, coats, or shoes out of sight while maximising the available space. French doors from the lounge open directly onto the garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating a seamless connection between the indoor living space and the outdoor space.

Stepping out through the French doors from the lounge, you're immediately greeted by a charming and beautifully landscaped rear garden that feels like a private retreat. A paved patio area sits directly outside the doors, framed by potted plants and brick steps that lead down to the lawn. From here, a gravel path winds through the garden, drawing you towards a more secluded area with space for outdoor dining, a barbecue, and even a hot tub.

The garden is fully enclosed with pale sage fencing, creating a sense of privacy and security while still feeling open. Well-established borders brim with flowering plants and greenery, bringing colour to the space year-round. Dedicated seating area provides a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings. With its blend of lawn, patio, and social space, this garden is perfectly designed for both quiet moments and lively gatherings.

To the side of the garden, an attractive outbuilding with painted timber doors adds character and a fantastic outside office—an ideal solution for anyone working from home or in need of a dedicated creative space. Fully equipped with electrics and heating, this versatile room offers year-round usability and comfort. The interior is bright and full of character, with painted timber panelling, ample room for shelving and storage, and enough space for a large desk setup. Whether used as a home office, studio, or hobby room, it provides a perfect bonus room just steps away from the main house.

At the rear of the garden, a secure gate leads directly to a single carport, providing covered parking. This convenient access ensures easy loading and unloading. Set beneath a pitched tiled roof with characterful brickwork, the carport blends seamlessly with the surrounding architecture.

Back inside and upstairs, the first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each filled with natural light.

Bedroom one is a generously sized room, perfectly positioned at the front of the property. With soft neutral tones, high sloping ceilings, and a large leaded light window, the space feels bright and peaceful throughout the day. There's plenty of room for a king-size bed and additional furniture, while the elegant ceiling light adds a touch of understated luxury.

Bedroom two is a spacious and versatile room, also set to the front of the property and enjoying views through a led light window. Its generous proportions easily accommodate a double bed, desk, and additional furnishings—making it perfect as a guest room, child’s bedroom, or even a home office.

Bedroom three is a cosy and inviting space, ideal as a child’s bedroom, nursery, or home office. Set to the rear of the house, it enjoys a peaceful outlook and natural light.

The family bathroom is a truly luxurious space that has been recently refitted, designed with both elegance and functionality in mind. Crisp white metro tiles, create a fresh and clean aesthetic, that’s beautifully offset by the patterned floor tiles underfoot. A statement piece in its own right, the stained glass effect window adds a unique splash of colour and character. The P-shaped bath is paired with a rain-style overhead shower and separate handheld attachment, all finished in polished chrome. A large, illuminated mirror above the vanity provides ample lighting, while integrated storage beneath the basin ensures clutter is kept out of sight.
