Queen Street, Stedham, GU29

This property offers a genuine opportunity to those buyers that appreciate authentic character and aren't deterred by renovation requirements. The period features and charm waiting to be uncovered offer the chance to create a truly special home. Yaru in Japenese has several meanings but the most pertinent in this case is ‘To Give’ as this property was gifted to the family decades ago and has been lovingly lived in ever since.

Step through the front door into the hallway and you have stepped back in time where original features surround you waiting to be discovered and restored. The hallway leads to two more or less equally sized and well-proportioned reception rooms that maintain the classic layout of this popular house style. The sitting room located at the front adorns a pretty bay window overlooking Queen Street and original fireplace crying out to be restored and re-used. The centrally located dining room also boasts an original fireplace ready for refurbishment and large sash window framing views over the rear cottage garden.

The kitchen space to the rear is currently fitted with minimal units which will require updating, this offers an exciting ‘blank canvas’ opportunity to design and install a kitchen that perfectly suits your taste and needs. There's space for a range of modern appliances and cabinetry, providing plenty of scope to create a charming cottage kitchen that honours the home's character whilst providing all the functionality that contemporary culinary needs demand. With the scullery and downstairs cloakroom adjacent there is scope to incorporate these into the kitchen area creating a larger more modern layout, in keeping with 21st century lifestyles. Should this plan come to fruition, then the huge storage cupboard located in the dining room lends itself perfectly to a brand new ‘lootility’ space (all of course STPP).

The wonderful warmth and charm this cottage exudes continues upstairs, with the pretty landing taking central stage allowing the two double bedroom to seamlessly flow from it. The slightly larger of the two rooms is located at the back of the house with views over the garden and a dressing room area or potentially a study space depending on your lifestyle needs. The second double bedroom at the front of the house, has period charm and possibly an original fireplace waiting to be discovered.

The family bathroom is a fascinating time capsule from the 1970s, showcasing the distinctive aesthetic of that era. This room offers excellent potential for complete modernisation, allowing new owners to create a contemporary family bathroom that works harmoniously with the home's overall character.

Outside
The rear garden is in keeping with properties of this age where historic landowners ensured village residences had sufficient gardens for growing and enjoyment. Yaru is no exception with a pretty cottage garden directly to the rear of the house with small patio space and garden shed, crying out to be nurtured back to its former glory. In addition there is a substantial, allotment style garden detached from the house and accessed along an idyllic pathway through neighbouring gardens, this area is approx 1/3 acre and a complete green blank canvas to embrace the good life and grow your very own fruit and vegetables. Parking is available to residents and visitors on Queen Street at the front of the house.
