Charming 1928 Three-Bedroom Detached Home Full of Character and Potential - A Rare Find

Sat behind a traditional half stone wall and mature front garden, this delightful three-bedroom detached house, built in 1928, offers an exciting opportunity to own a home brimming with original charm and scope for modernisation. Located in a sought-after residential area, this property is ideal for families, those with an eye for design, or buyers looking to create their dream home with character.

Exterior & Approach

As you approach the property, you're greeted by a classic frontage with a mature lawned garden, bordered by well-established flowerbeds and hedging for privacy. A driveway runs along the left-hand side of the house, providing ample off-road parking and leading to a detached garage at the rear - perfect for storage or a workshop.

Welcoming Entrance Hall

Step inside into a spacious and welcoming hallway, where you'll immediately notice the sense of space and the home's period roots. Beneath the stairs, a discreet cloakroom/WC adds practical convenience without compromising space.

Lounge & Conservatory

To the right of the hallway lies the family-sized lounge, a warm and inviting space with a bay window overlooking the front garden, bathing the room in natural light. A gas fireplace serves as the focal point of this comfortable room, perfect for cosy evenings. French doors lead through to the conservatory, which in turn opens out to the garden - ideal for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying garden views all year round.

Kitchen & Dining Room

On the opposite side of the hall is the open-plan kitchen/diner, which runs the depth of the house. The dining area, located at the front, benefits from a large window and would easily accommodate a family table. Flowing from here, the kitchen enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden and offers a practical workspace with ample cabinetry and potential for modernisation or reconfiguration into a stylish contemporary hub.

Upstairs Accommodation

Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms:
- The master bedroom is a particularly generous dual aspect double, offering excellent light and views from both the front and rear of the property.
- The second bedroom, another good-sized double, is positioned at the front and retains plenty of natural charm.
- The third bedroom, overlooking the rear, is a large single, perfect as a child's room, home office or guest space.

The upstairs layout includes a separate WC and a family bathroom, complete with a bath and overhead shower, basin, and a traditional bidet, allowing for easy updates while retaining plenty of space for a modern suite.

Gardens - A Hidden Gem

The garden is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive features of the property. The main garden, immediately accessed from the house, offers a beautiful lawned area, complemented by mature flowerbeds, a greenhouse, and a shed, ideal for green-fingered buyers. Beyond this lies a second section - a "secret garden", tucked away and full of potential for landscaping, vegetable growing, a tranquil retreat, or even a children's play area. It's a truly special outdoor space with a sense of privacy and seclusion.

Summary

This character-filled detached home, with its spacious rooms, generous garden, and prime location, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with genuine charm and huge potential. Some modernisation is required, but the essentials - space, light, and setting - are all here in abundance. Whether you're a family looking for your forever home or a buyer seeking a unique renovation project, this is a property not to be missed.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, potential, and individuality this wonderful home has to offer.
