This handsome brick Victorian home forms part of a charming row of similar period properties, creating a quietly attractive setting. To the front, a neat garden with lawn and planted borders is framed by a dark green painted picket fence, with a pathway leading to the front door and continuing through to the rear garden beyond. Before you even step inside, you’re met with a sense that this house is designed for real life. Wellington boots hung neatly by the front door hint at countryside walks just moments away waiting to be explored.  

The current owners have lovingly restored the house, transforming it into a warm, beautifully finished and highly functional home, retaining its period soul. From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is clear. Solid oak skirting boards, tasteful décor, a new front door and a thoughtfully updated bathroom and kitchen all add to the sense of quality and care throughout. The living room is a welcoming retreat, centred around a HETAS-certified log-burning stove that is perfect for cosy evenings and relaxed weekends at home. 

The second reception room has been cleverly designed as a multi-functional space, easily adapting to modern living. A bespoke dividing storage unit subtly defines the area, while a fold-away desk tucked beside the window creates an ideal work-from-home spot with a lovely outlook over the garden. There’s ample space for a dining table, alongside a generous storage cupboard, and a brilliantly considered dog room tucked under the stairs is a small but thoughtful touch that perfectly reflects how carefully this home has been designed. 

To the rear, the kitchen enjoys views over the garden and has been refreshed with new cupboard doors, updated worktops and tiling, alongside additional worktop space to make everyday cooking and entertaining effortless. 

Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, both with built-in storage and decorated in beautifully calming colours. The smartly updated bathroom features a double shower enclosure with tiled walls, sink, WC and spacious airing cupboard.  

Outside, the long rear garden has been completely reimagined, with a newly raised patio at the top - a real sun trap and perfect spot for entertaining friends and family. A shed sits neatly at the bottom of the garden, providing useful storage without detracting from the space. 

This is a home that’s ready to move straight into, while still offering potential to grow and evolve over time. With other homes along the road having been extended there’s scope to do the same, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
