The bespoke solid oak kitchen brings warmth and character, paired with generous work surfaces, ample storage and underfloor heating for year-round comfort. There is plenty of space for both dining and relaxing, with a log burner providing a cosy focal point to the main living area.

A particularly valuable addition is the ground floor bedroom / study, offering flexibility for home working, guests or growing families. This is complemented by a separate utility room and WC, adding real day-to-day practicality.

The Garden

The garden is without doubt one of the defining features of this home. Extending to approximately 58ft and enjoying a largely south-facing aspect, it benefits from excellent natural light throughout the day.

Beautifully established and thoughtfully arranged, it features mature planting, a pond and a variety of fruit trees, giving the space a sense of character and maturity that is rarely found. There is ample room for growing your own vegetables, alongside open areas for seating, entertaining or simply relaxing — offering both productivity and tranquillity.

A useful outbuilding / shed provides additional storage, while side access adds further convenience. To the rear, the property enjoys an open outlook across neighbouring green space, enhancing the peaceful and private feel of the setting.

Upstairs

Upstairs, the house continues to impress with two particularly large double bedrooms, both offering excellent proportions, natural light and a calm, inviting feel.

The bathroom is well-appointed and neatly finished, positioned to serve both bedrooms comfortably.

The property is also ideally located, with a recreation ground just a short walk away and excellent access to the surrounding Downs, offering a wealth of green open spaces to explore.

Agent Says

“This is a fantastic example of a 1930s semi that really delivers on lifestyle. The kitchen/living space works brilliantly, the additional ground floor room adds flexibility, and the garden — with its sunny aspect — is a real standout.”

Owner’s Secret

“The garden has been the highlight for us — it gets the sun for most of the day and has been incredibly rewarding to grow our own produce. The house itself works so well day-to-day, especially with the open-plan space and log burner in the winter.”
