Description

REF - DA1155

Entrance Hall

From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is no ordinary home.

The entrance hall is accessed via an original-style front door with matching window, immediately setting a characterful and welcoming tone. Tiled flooring adds practicality, while a radiator keeps the space comfortable year-round.

There’s plenty of room for coats and shoes without it feeling cluttered — a proper, usable hallway that gives a great first impression and hints at the space and flexibility that follows.

Rear Entrance Hallway

A hugely useful secondary entrance that adds another layer of flexibility to the home.

Accessed via a side door opening directly to the garden, this rear entrance hall is ideal for busy family life, dogs, muddy boots or simply coming and going without always using the main front door. Finished with tiled flooring and a radiator, it’s practical, well thought out and perfectly placed.

This space also reinforces the home’s adaptability — especially for multi-generational living or anyone wanting defined zones within the house.

Dining Room - 4.37m x 3.33m (14'4" x 10'11")

A stunning front-facing dining room that instantly showcases the character and individuality of this home.

Large double glazed sash windows fitted with shutters flood the room with natural light while maintaining privacy. The real showstopper, though, is the cast iron fireplace with tiled inserts and marble surround — a beautiful focal point that anchors the room and oozes period charm.

Real wood flooring runs underfoot, adding warmth and texture, while a radiator ensures comfort year-round. This is a space made for long dinners, celebrations and entertaining, and it sets the tone for just how special this house really is.

Character-rich, elegant and memorable.

Family Room - 4.24m x 3m (13'11" x 9'10")

A wonderfully warm and inviting family room that sits at the heart of the home.

Double glazed sash windows with shutters bring in plenty of natural light while keeping that classic, timeless look. A cast iron fireplace with tiled hearth provides a charming focal point, perfectly complemented by oak wood flooring that adds richness and continuity.

Wall lights enhance the atmosphere, making this an ideal room for relaxed evenings, while an electric radiator ensures comfort. An open-plan archway leads seamlessly into the lounge, creating a sociable flow, while a door connects back through to the front entrance hall.

This is a room designed for everyday family life — cosy, characterful and beautifully connected

Lounge - 4.34m x 3.35m (14'3" x 11'0")

A beautifully balanced lounge that blends character with connection to the garden.

Oak wood flooring continues underfoot, tying the space effortlessly to the rest of the ground floor, while a cast iron fireplace with tiled hearth provides a charming focal point and reinforces the home’s period appeal. A radiator keeps the room comfortable year-round.

Double glazed French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to pour in and making this a brilliant space for both everyday living and entertaining. In the warmer months, it’s easy to imagine throwing the doors open and letting inside and outside merge.

Calm, characterful and sociable — this is a room you’ll naturally gravitate towards.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room - 4.44m x 3.35m (14'7"Max x 11'0"Max)

A kitchen that feels wonderfully authentic and full of personality.

Positioned to the rear, the kitchen breakfast room enjoys views out through a double glazed window and immediately delivers that classic farmhouse, character-home feel. Exposed beams run across the ceiling, setting the tone and reminding you this is a house with a story.

Fitted with a range of wall and base units, the kitchen centres around a range-style cooker with both gas and electric ovens — a proper statement piece and perfect for anyone who loves to cook. There’s a sink with drainer, plumbing for a dishwasher and excellent practicality without losing charm.

What really sets this space apart is how connected it is. Doors lead through to the lounge, dining room, rear entrance hall and down to the cellar, making this a true hub of the home — somewhere people naturally gather.

Character-rich, welcoming and completely in keeping with the individuality of the house.

Cellar & Utility Area

A surprisingly versatile cellar space that adds another layer of practicality to this already flexible home.

Currently used as a utility room, it benefits from plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, keeping everyday chores neatly out of the main living areas. A front-facing window allows natural light in, making the space feel far more usable than a typical cellar.

Beyond utility use, this room offers real potential for a variety of purposes — storage, hobbies, workshop space or even a tucked-away work area. A great bonus that enhances how adaptable this home truly is.

Shower Room

A very practical ground floor shower room that adds genuine flexibility to the layout.

Fitted with a shower, WC and wash hand basin, the room is finished with tiled flooring and benefits from a side double glazed window providing natural light and ventilation. A radiator ensures comfort, and the boiler is neatly housed within this space.

Perfectly placed for guests, family members using the ground floor accommodation or anyone considering one of the reception rooms as an additional bedroom, this is a feature that really enhances how adaptable the home can be.

Office - 3.2m x 2.59m (10'6" x 8'6")

A bright and practical ground floor office, ideal for home working, studying or running a business from home.

With a side double glazed window bringing in natural light, tiled flooring for durability and a radiator for comfort, this is a space that works just as hard as you do. Importantly, it sits perfectly within the layout to also serve as a ground floor bedroom if required — a key advantage for multi-generational living.

Garden Room - 6.5m x 2.34m (21'4" x 7'8")

This is the space that takes the house from special to unforgettable.

Wrapped in light, the family garden room enjoys rear and side double glazed windows, stunning bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden, and an incredible five Velux-style roof windows that flood the room with natural light throughout the day. Wherever you stand, you’re connected to the garden and the outdoors.

Tiled flooring keeps the space practical, while exposed brickwork and ceiling beams bring warmth, texture and character — perfectly balancing contemporary design with the soul of the home. Spotlights and wall lights create atmosphere as day turns to evening.

With views across the entire garden, this room works beautifully as a main family living space, entertaining hub, or even part of a ground floor living suite. It’s bright, dramatic, welcoming — and it will be the room everyone talks about after a viewing.

Landing

The landing continues the home’s character beautifully, featuring side double glazed sash windows that flood the space with natural light and reinforce the period feel.

There is useful storage cleverly tucked over the stairs as you rise to the first floor, along with access to the loft — which offers further potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Yet another reminder that this home doesn’t just offer space now, but options for the future too.

Light-filled, characterful and practical — exactly what you want connecting the bedrooms.

Bedroom - 4.55m x 3.35m (14'11" x 11'0")

A beautifully proportioned principal bedroom positioned to the rear of the property, offering a peaceful retreat away from the road.

A rear-facing double glazed sash window allows natural light to fill the room, while a cast iron fireplace adds timeless character and a real sense of charm. The room benefits from an over-the-stairs airing cupboard and additional storage, keeping everything practical as well as attractive.

Comfortable, characterful and generously sized, this is a bedroom that feels calm, settled and effortlessly welcoming.

Bedroom - 4.42m x 3.38m (14'6"Max x 11'1"Max)

A second generous double bedroom positioned to the front of the property, filled with light from a double glazed sash window with shutters — a lovely feature that adds both character and practicality.

Wood flooring runs underfoot, giving the room warmth and continuity, while a radiator provides comfort year-round. There is also excellent built-in storage, including over-the-stairs space and a hanging cupboard, keeping the room feeling open and uncluttered.

Spacious, characterful and incredibly versatile, this is a bedroom that works just as well for family, guests or even a home workspace.

Bedroom - 4.37m x 3.38m (14'4"Max x 11'1"Max)

Completing the upstairs accommodation is a third generous double bedroom, positioned to the front of the property.

A double glazed sash window with shutters fills the room with light, while a cast iron fireplace once again highlights the period charm that runs throughout the home. A radiator ensures comfort, making this a warm and inviting space.

Large, characterful and flexible, this bedroom works perfectly for family members, guests or anyone needing a substantial additional room rather than a box room.

Bathroom - 4.32m x 3.35m (14'2"Max x 11'0"Max)

A truly impressive family bathroom that’s far larger than you’d expect and packed with character.

At its heart sits a cast iron fireplace, an incredibly rare and charming feature that immediately sets this space apart. The room is fitted with a bath with mixer taps and a separate shower, along with a WC and wash hand basin set within a vanity unit.

Tiled wall finishes provide practicality, while a radiator keeps the room warm and comfortable. A large built-in laundry cupboard offers excellent storage and keeps everyday essentials neatly tucked away — a brilliant and thoughtful addition.

Spacious, character-rich and full of personality, this is a bathroom that feels more like a retreat than a necessity.

Garage & Parking

To the side of the property there is a driveway providing off-road parking and leading directly to the garage.

The garage itself is fitted with an up-and-over door, along with power and lighting, making it ideal for secure parking, storage or workshop use. A rear window brings in natural light, while a particularly thoughtful feature is the rear door opening directly into the garden, meaning you don’t need to walk through the house — ideal for bikes, garden equipment or everyday practicality.

A setup that works just as well day to day as it does on paper.

Garden

The garden is every bit as special as the house itself — stunning to look at, yet thoughtfully designed to remain manageable.

Laid out to offer a variety of spaces to enjoy, the garden features two ponds that add calm and character, alongside patio areas perfect for entertaining or relaxing in different parts of the day. Raised beds provide structure and interest, while mature trees and shrubs create a wonderfully established, private feel.

There is also an area currently used as a chicken coop, adding a charming, semi-rural touch that will appeal to those seeking something a little different. The garden is enclosed by a combination of fencing and walls, enhancing both privacy and security.

A large storage shed with a veranda sits within the garden and benefits from electric points and lighting, making it ideal for hobbies, storage or outdoor projects.

Additional outside lighting and a water tap further enhance the usability of the space.

This is a garden designed to be enjoyed — full of character, flexible in use and a true extension of the home.
