An attractive Grade II listed period home combining charming original details and thoughtful, elegant décor and fittings, in a convenient and well-connected village setting.

Description

The property, known as Sparrow House, is a semi-detached four-bedroom period home that features attractive red brick elevations, while inside the accommodation retains various splendid original details alongside refined modern fittings and styling.

The heart of the home is the semi open-plan kitchen, breakfast room and dining room, which forms a continuous living and entertaining space from the front to the rear of the ground floor, with flagstone-style flooring and timber beams overhead. The dining room has a fireplace fitted with a log burner, while the kitchen has shaker-style fitted units, a central island with a breakfast bar, a split butler sink and integrated appliances, as well as an Aga. There is also a utility room and a large pantry for further ground-floor storage, while additional space in which to relax includes the beautifully presented sitting room, with its ornate fireplace, fitted with a stove.

Upstairs there are four well-appointed bedrooms, including two large doubles at the front of the first floor. The first-floor landing also offers plenty of fitted cupboard space, as well as access to a family bathroom. A further shower room can be found on the lower level.

At the front of the property, a dwarf wall surrounds the front gardens, which are west-facing and include a central pathway with lawns and colourful beds, bursting with herbaceous shrubs and flowering perennials. The private walled rear gardens have a further area of lawn, paved terracing for al fresco dining a summer house and various stores and workshop spaces, which could offer potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents. There is a private driveway to the rear of the property on Sparrow Lane.
