The Property

Set back behind a small courtyard, this stone-built home immediately stands out for how well it has been updated while still respecting its original character. Step inside and the front lounge creates a strong first impression, centred around a wood-burning stove set within an inglenook fireplace. It’s a space that feels both bright and grounded, with the triple-glazed window bringing in natural light while keeping the room quiet and comfortable. The opening through to the dining room keeps the ground floor connected, making it easy to use the space day to day or when entertaining.

The dining room sits at the heart of the home and offers flexibility, whether used for meals, a second sitting area or a workspace. From here, the layout leads through to the kitchen at the rear. Designed to make the most of the space, the bespoke kitchen offers generous worktop areas and a practical layout. Windows along the side bring in additional light, while the connection to the garden makes it a space that works well throughout the day.

Upstairs, the first floor is arranged with a full-width main bedroom to the front and a spacious bathroom to the rear. The bathroom has been styled in keeping with the age of the property, featuring a cast iron bath with shower over and traditional fittings. A built-in cupboard discreetly houses plumbing for laundry, adding a practical touch. The top floor provides two further double bedrooms, both well-proportioned and filled with natural light, offering flexibility for family life, guests or working from home.

Outside, the rear garden extends to approximately 80 feet, creating a long, private space with a lawn and established planting. A patio area at the far end catches the evening sun, making it a natural spot to sit out at the end of the day. The cellar below the house provides useful additional storage.
