North Street, Tillingham

Charming 18th-Century Detached Home in the Heart of Tillingham

Situated within a conservation area in the centre of the picturesque village of Tillingham, this delightful 18th-century detached home boasts a generous rear garden extending to approximately 100 feet.

Steeped in local history, the property-formerly known as The Bake & Hoppett, 31 North Street-once served as a bakery and grain store for Tillingham. The original baker's oven remains in place within the dining room, offering a unique and characterful feature, while the original baking stones have been thoughtfully repurposed and can now be found in the patio, complete with engraving.

The ground floor features a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, with stairs leading to a versatile third bedroom. The main lounge is centred around an impressive brick fireplace with a log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point, and opens through to a separate dining area. A study is located just off the dining room, ideal for home working. An entrance hall and convenient ground-floor shower room complete the layout.

A staircase from the lounge leads to the first floor, where you will find the principal bedroom with ensuite, along with a second bedroom.

Externally, the beautifully established rear garden is a particular highlight, filled with an abundance of David Austin roses-one of which was awarded champion at the Tillingham Flower Show-creating a vibrant and tranquil outdoor space. A driveway to the side of the property provides access to a detached garage/workshop, offering excellent storage or potential for hobbies.
