A Characterful Detached Family Home of Considerable Charm

Beautifully presented, this exceptional detached family home offers generous, well-proportioned accommodation arranged across two floors, combining period charm with practical family living in equal measure.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone from the moment you step inside, with a conveniently positioned downstairs WC serving the ground floor. To one side, the beautiful sitting room is a truly charming room, with a circular stained glass window to the side and a log burner which forms the focal point of the room, while underfoot, a beautiful herringbone wood block floor adds warmth and there is a bay window to the front.

The dining room is equally impressive, finished with its own rich wooden flooring and bathed in natural light courtesy of a striking circular stained glass window to the side. Double doors draw the eye and open seamlessly into the conservatory beyond. The conservatory itself is part brick built with windows overlooking the rear garden and has double doors opening directly onto the garden.

The kitchen has a range of fitted units and has a window to the rear and a door to the side which provides a useful utility area providing additional storage and laundry provision. Internal access to the garage adds further everyday convenience.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four good-sized bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefiting from a range of fitted wardrobes and drawers. A second double bedroom also features fitted wardrobes and overlooks the rear, and there is an additional double aspect double bedroom and a further bedroom with window to the front. The family bathroom is comprehensively fitted with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle, serving the upper floor with ease. A separate WC provides additional practicality for a busy household.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The rear garden is a particular highlight and is large, level, and well-screened by a beautiful array of mature shrubs and trees, offering a genuine sense of seclusion. To the front, a generous driveway provides off-road parking for up to three vehicles, a practical asset in any family home.

Combining original character features, versatile living spaces, and a superb plot, this is a home that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
