Ground Floor

From the moment you step through the original tiled porch, this home impresses with its scale, heritage, and warmth. Believed to have been built circa 1870, the property combines period elegance with modern upgrades, including full central heating and double glazing throughout. The grand entrance hall, with its soaring ceilings and wall-fitted ambient lighting, sets the tone for the elegant interiors that unfold throughout the ground floor.

To the left, a sitting room or study offers a quiet retreat, anchored by an original open fireplace—perfect for reading, working, or simply unwinding. Across the hall, the formal dining room features a beautiful bay window and bespoke built-in cabinetry, providing a sophisticated setting for entertaining.

At the rear of the home, the family lounge forms the heart of the living space. A striking feature is the original wood paneling, which adds depth and warmth, complemented by another period open fireplace and a large bay window. A door opens directly onto the garden, extending the living space outdoors. The lounge flows seamlessly into the heated, fully equipped conservatory—an inviting, light-filled space that can be enjoyed year-round with uninterrupted views of the garden.

To the right of the property, the expansive kitchen/breakfast room is both practical and stylish, fitted with high-end appliances including a Mercury oven, an integrated microwave, Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, and a matching Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer. Under-cabinet lighting, generous worktops, and windows on either side of the room fill the space with natural light, enhancing its bright and functional layout. Just off the kitchen, a well-appointed utility room provides additional space for laundry and storage. Discreetly accessed from the main hallway is a cellar, offering excellent extra space—ideal for storage, or conversion into a hobby room or snug, depending on your needs. Completing the ground floor is a spacious WC with floor-to-ceiling built-in storage, offering both practicality and a refined finish for guests and family alike.

First Floor

The original staircase leads to a bright and generously proportioned landing, offering a real sense of space and potential. With ample room for freestanding furniture or additional storage, this is more than just a corridor—it’s a usable, characterful area in its own right.

The principal bedroom provides a tranquil retreat with views over the rear garden, built-in wardrobes, and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom featuring a separate bath, walk-in shower, his-and-hers sinks, and a bidet.

Three further double bedrooms (bedrooms two, three, and four) offer generous accommodation, each with fitted wardrobes or built-in storage. Bedroom two benefits from added character thanks to a large bay window that floods the space with natural light. Bedroom five features an original fireplace, while bedroom six is an adaptable space—ideal as a guest room, dressing room, or home office.

Outdoor Space

Set on a generous 0.29-acre plot, the property’s wrap-around, south-facing garden offers a rare sense of seclusion, surrounded by mature greenery and not overlooked, it creates a private outdoor haven that feels far removed from the everyday.

From the conservatory, steps lead down to a sun-soaked paved patio—perfect for relaxing or enjoying the outdoors. The garden unfolds into expansive lawns bordered by seasonal planting, a working fish pond, and well-established herb and vegetable beds. Mature trees and flowering shrubs provide year-round interest, while discreet seating areas are thoughtfully placed to offer peaceful corners for reading, morning coffee, or entertaining.

A greenhouse, garden shed, and a private retreat space tucked away from the main lawn add both practicality and flexibility to the outdoor space. Side access leads directly to the garage, and there is ample additional outdoor storage.

To the front, the property benefits from off-road parking and a private garage, completing this well-rounded and unique home.
