There’s something refreshingly different about this home. Unlike many properties in the area, it has a layout and feel all of its own, offering versatile living space, three genuine double bedrooms and a sense of character that’s increasingly hard to find. While there’s still scope for a new owner to update and put their own stamp on things over time, it’s a house that already feels warm, welcoming and very liveable from day one.

You enter through the rear of the property into a practical hallway with space for coats and shoes, the kind of entrance that works brilliantly for day-to-day life. From here, the house opens into the kitchen and dining room, creating a sociable flow through the ground floor.

The kitchen is far larger than you might expect, with plenty of storage and worktop space arranged in an L-shape as well as additional units set into the bay window area. Dual aspects to the front and rear bring in lots of natural light throughout the day, while the sink is perfectly positioned in front of a window. There’s space for an American-style fridge freezer alongside the electric oven, grill and hob, and the room has enough space to become something really special over time.

Leading off the kitchen is a useful utility room with space for a washing machine, an external door and access to the downstairs shower room with shower, WC and washbasin. It’s a practical setup that adds flexibility, especially for busy households, guests or anyone coming back muddy from walks or gardening.

The dining room sits at the rear of the house overlooking the garden and comfortably accommodates a large table for family meals, entertaining or slower Sunday mornings with coffee and newspapers spread across the table. French doors connect through to the lounge, allowing the two spaces to feel open when wanted but still cosy and separate in the evenings.

The lounge itself is a comfortable, characterful room centred around the chimney breast, with plenty of room for larger sofas and seating. It’s easy to imagine this becoming an incredibly cosy retreat with a little imagination and updating.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are comfortable doubles, something rarely found in homes of this style and price range. The principal bedroom sits at the front with a chimney breast adding character, while the second bedroom enjoys views over the garden. Bedroom three is particularly versatile, stretching from front to back with windows at both ends bringing in plenty of light. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower above, WC, washbasin and towel radiator.

Outside, the garden has been designed to be low maintenance without losing its charm. Immediately behind the house is a paved seating area, ideal for outdoor dining or summer evenings, while a few steps lead up to a small lawn bordered by raised flowerbeds and built-in timber seating along the rear boundary. It feels private, enclosed and easy to manage.

There’s also useful cellar storage accessed from the front of the property, ideal for bikes, tools or the things you don’t want cluttering up the house
