Ground Floor

Entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a reception area with tiled flooring and a staircase rising to the first floor, giving an immediate sense of space and character. From here, a door leads to the main sleeping accommodation. The property is presented in very good order throughout, with character and quality features. There are three bedrooms in total. Two are good-sized doubles, one positioned to the rear and one to the front, while the third is a smaller single room, ideally suited as a nursery, home office, or dressing room. Located to the rear of the property is the family bathroom, an impressively proportioned space with tiled walls and flooring. It features a large double shower with glass screen, a built-in vanity unit with inset sink and mirror over, and a WC.

First Floor

Moving upstairs, the central staircase rises to the first floor, with the upper section open and featuring exposed timbers overlooking the living space adjacent. The central landing benefits from a loft hatch with loft ladder, with the loft being fully boarded. The landing leads through to the kitchen/dining room, a generous full-width space with a window to the front enjoying pleasant outlooks, and tiled slate flooring throughout. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a brick-built peninsula with novel inset wine storage, space and plumbing for a dishwasher, and a range cooker with extractor over. Exposed stone walls add character, while the dining area benefits from built-in shelving and ample space for a family dining table and chairs. Overall, this is a well-proportioned room, perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining.

The kitchen leads to a very practical utility room, again fitted with quality full-height storage cupboards, a Belfast sink, and work surface, continuing the slate flooring. A window and half-glazed stable door provide access to the rear garden. From the utility, a door opens into the cloakroom, comprising a WC and wall-mounted corner basin, with an obscured window to the rear. Moving back through to the inner hall, you enter the living room, a superb space again spanning the full width of the property. It features a central brick-built fireplace with oak beam and wood-burning stove. This inviting, characterful room enjoys plentiful natural light from the front window, which offers long-distance views, as well as a side window and double sliding patio doors to the rear. These open directly onto the patio and garden beyond, creating an excellent flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Versatile additional room

Accessed from the front of the driveway via a further wooden stable door, this is a superb addition to the property and offers excellent versatility. It could make an ideal home office or hobby space, or alternatively, subject to the necessary consents, could be adapted to provide additional accommodation, with the potential to extend into the garage to create an annexe if required. In situ there is also a WC, which could be further improved or upgraded as part of any future conversion.

Rear Garden

The gardens are a distinctive feature of the property. The rear garden is accessed directly from the home as well as via an external slabbed staircase rising from the driveway. A charming example of a cottage-style garden, it features a large patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, flanked by well-stocked flower beds and mature shrubs. Steps lead up to a further level lawn area, enclosed by wooden boundary fencing. A garden shed is situated within the garden, offering useful storage for gardening equipment, logs, and general outdoor items. Overall, this is a fantastic, outdoor space, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the setting.

Woodland

To the front of the property is a further detached sloping area of woodland extending to approximately 0.157 of an acre. Accessed via a series of wooden steps, this was once a tranquil retreat enjoyed by the current owners as a private hideaway. Remarkably secluded, once within the woodland you would scarcely believe you are positioned so close to the town centre. Rich in natural flora and wildlife, the area formerly featured terraced seating areas and even a bar, creating a unique space for relaxation and entertaining. Whilst the woodland has not been actively maintained in recent years and care should therefore be taken when accessing it, the area offers tremendous potential for new owners to restore and enhance it, creating a peaceful sanctuary from which to enjoy the property's surroundings and natural setting.

Parking & Garage

The property benefits from driveway parking along with a garage, featuring an up-and-over door and a window to the side.

Agents note:

Please be aware that the property is located within a conservation area. We also note there is a historic right of way across the woodland to the front, which relates to the period when the lower section of woodland (approximately 0.053 acres) belonged to a neighbouring property. As this land now forms part of the property, we are advised by the seller that this right of way is considered effectively redundant.
