Combining practical living space with a unique personality, this charming home is ideal for those seeking something a little different.

There is ample room for a dining table and chairs, creating an ideal setting for both everyday meals and social gatherings, while an attractive fireplace adds character and charm, reflecting the property's age and heritage. Adjoining this is a useful and spacious store, currently utilised as a utility area, providing valuable additional storage and practical workspace.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms comprising two generous double bedrooms and a third bedroom currently arranged with twin beds, making it ideal for children, guests or as a flexible home-working space. These are served by a spacious family bathroom featuring a bath with rainfall shower over, creating a stylish and practical space for everyday use.

Outside, The Retreat reveals one of its most distinctive features. This is a home that happily does things its own way; the traditional garden arrangement has been turned on its head. To the rear, you'll find a charming courtyard complete with useful storage and an outside WC, while the principal garden space is located to the front of the property. Thoughtfully enclosed and wonderfully private, the garden provides a peaceful retreat from everyday life, with established planting and seating areas creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the sunshine in seclusion. A delightful sunroom overlooks the garden and offers a wonderfully versatile space, equally suited as a home office, reading room, hobby space or simply somewhere to sit and relax with a morning coffee.

The home also benefits from UPVC double-glazed windows, a gas-fired boiler installed in 2019, an outside tap, a useful outside store, external WC and a log store.

About eXp UK, South West

eXp UK are the newest estate agency business, powering individual agents around the UK to provide a personal service and experience to help get you moved.

Here are the top 7 things you need to know when moving home:

Get your house valued by 3 different agents before you put it on the market

Don't pick the agent that values it the highest, without evidence of other properties sold in the same area

It's always best to put your house on the market before you find a property

The estate agent acts for the seller and is there to get the seller the best price possible

Understand the length of time it can take - 14 weeks from when you accept an offer, or have an offer accepted to move in! A long time!

It can get stressful, but speak to your agent and your solicitor and they will put you in the picture

Be nice to estate agents - we're pretty nice people, offer some great advice and will help to get you moved ;-)
