Tarry Hill, Swineshead, PE20 3LW

A beautifully modernised four-bedroom detached period home, set within the peaceful outskirts of Swineshead in an area known as Tarry Hill. This charming Edwardian home has been thoughtfully updated in recent years while retaining an abundance of original character, offering the perfect blend of timeless appeal and modern comfort. Extended in the 1960s, the property has benefited from extensive improvements, including the replacement of most windows, a recently refurbished kitchen and bathroom, and a new oil-fired boiler fitted just over two years ago. Two wood-burning stoves further enhance the home's warmth and country charm.

Inside, the accommodation is generous and versatile. There are three well-proportioned reception rooms, providing ample space for family living and entertaining. The characterful dining kitchen is a highlight, overlooking the beautifully established and surprisingly large rear garden. Its layout makes it an ideal hub of the home, filled with natural light and lovely garden views.

The former garage has been cleverly converted into a studio, offering excellent potential for hobbies, home working, a ground-floor bedroom or a dedicated playroom-making the property adaptable to a variety of lifestyles.

Outside, the home is just as appealing. The grounds are wonderfully mature and well-stocked, creating a delightful setting with a strong sense of privacy. A spacious decked terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, while the superb, covered bar area makes summer entertaining effortless and memorable. The overall outlook enjoys a peaceful rural feel, adding to the property's unique appeal.

Swineshead benefits from several amenities to suit all ages, including a Primary School, Post Office, medical centre, Co-Op, Ivy's farm shop and village pubs.

There is space and plumbing beneath the units for a dishwasher and a tiled recess houses a Rangemaster electric cooking range (negotiable) which includes an induction hob, two fan ovens and a grill and has a clothes airer and extractor fan above.

Studio/Potential Ground Floor Bedroom 4.30 m x 3.25 m (14'1 x 10'7) - Has French doors opening out onto the rear decking and garden area, wood laminate flooring, two ceiling light points and a radiator.

Bedroom One 5.44 m x 4.30 m (17'10 x 14'1) - A large double bedroom with two modern sealed unit double glazed sash windows to the front aspect and a uPVC window to the rear aspect, two radiators and a feature slate wall.

Dressing Room/Child's Bedroom 2.59 m x 2.45 m (8'5 x 8'0) maximum dimensions. This smaller room was originally the bathroom and as the plumbing remains offers the potential (as you can see on the floorplan) to provide Jack 'n' Jill style en-suite facilities to bedrooms two and three.

Outside - To the front of the property, there are wrought iron railings on the boundary and a lawned garden. A driveway provides off-road car parking and could be extended if required into the front garden area. While the part glazed folding garage doors remain, the garage has been partially converted leaving an area measuring 4.60 m x 1.86 m as storage. In the springtime and summertime, the rear garden is beautiful and is enclosed by a combination of incredibly well-maintained hedging on the boundaries, with a view over a neighbouring pony paddock and open fields to the rear, the property enjoys an attractive semi-rural aspect that is not overlooked by any property to the back. The established gardens include well stocked borders planted with a wide range of shrubs, flowering plants and bushes that really do ensure the garden is filled with shape, colour and structure all year round. Whilst most of the garden is laid to lawn, there is an extensive raised decking area which provides ample space for garden furniture. An old outbuilding is divided into the 'gardener's toilet' with wash basin and a garden store. A covered barbecue and bar area has outdoor sockets and a bar, and provides a lovely space to sit and enjoy uninterrupted views over the garden, or relax with friends. Water is connected to this area, and a concrete base remains which used to house a hot-tub.

A timber shed and log store would also be included within the sale of the property.
