DESCRIPTION

Dating from 1926, this attractive brick-built property is set back from the road and sits beneath a tiled roof, combining period character with a range of modern improvements. The property has been lovingly occupied by the current owner for the past 40 years and benefits from double glazing, reversible air conditioning and recently re-lined drains.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, several reception areas and a former garage which has been thoughtfully converted into an annexe, offering excellent flexibility for guests, family members or those working from home.

An enclosed porch opens into the entrance hall, which itself benefits from air conditioning. The dining room is a particularly characterful space, featuring exposed timber beams, a door leading back to the porch and French doors opening into the conservatory. There is also a fitted bar and an air conditioning unit.

The conservatory provides a lovely connection with the garden, with French doors opening outside. It is equipped with a ceiling fan, heating and fitted blinds, making it a comfortable space for use throughout much of the year.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of built-in cabinets and a central island, together with an integrated oven, grill, convection hob and extractor. A useful built-in larder provides additional storage.

The sitting room offers further period charm, including a ceiling rose and picture rails, complemented by an air conditioning unit and a wood burner installed in 2024. A cloakroom, comprising WC and wash hand basin, completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor provides four bedrooms. The principal bedroom to the front of the property features a bay window and its own air conditioning unit, while a further double bedroom overlooks the front elevation.

To the rear are two additional bedrooms, one of which benefits from built-in wardrobes. The accommodation is served by a shower room with shower, WC, vanity wash hand basin and heated towel rail, together with a separate family bathroom comprising bath, vanity wash hand basin, bidet and WC.

There is also an airing cupboard with immersion heater and partially boarded loft space, providing useful additional storage.

A notable benefit of the property is the reversible air conditioning, with units operating independently, allowing individual rooms to be heated or cooled according to preference rather than controlling the whole property at once.

The former garage has been converted into an annexe, adding valuable and versatile accommodation to the property. The drains have also just been re-lined, providing further peace of mind for the incoming owner.

Having been the much-loved home of the current owner for four decades, this is a property that offers a wonderful combination of established character, versatile accommodation and thoughtful modern improvements, together with the potential to suit a variety of family and lifestyle requirements.

ANNEXE

A nicely converted one-bedroom annexe provides a versatile addition to the main property and offers a comfortable and self-contained space, ideal for accommodating family members or for use as a short-term holiday let, subject to the relevant permissions and restrictions. The annexe cannot be rented out as a conventional residential tenancy.
The accommodation is fully air conditioned and includes a welcoming sitting room and a separate kitchen, fitted with a range of built-in cabinets and providing space for freestanding appliances.

The bedroom features a Velux window with fitted blind and benefits from its own en suite shower room, comprising a walk-in shower, wash hand basin with vanity unit and heated towel rail. There is also a separate WC.

A partially boarded loft space, accessed via a retractable ladder, provides useful additional storage.

Overall, the annexe offers excellent flexibility and is a particularly useful feature for those seeking independent accommodation for a family member, guest space or the opportunity for short-term holiday use
__________

OUTSIDE

The property sits centrally within its plot, creating a sense of privacy and separation from the main road. A private driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the front of the property.

The front garden is attractively landscaped and provides a welcoming approach to the house. A gate and pathway from the front of the property give convenient access through to the rear garden.

The rear garden is an appealing feature, offering a good combination of established planting, lawned areas and paved spaces.

A terrace provides an ideal area for outdoor seating, al fresco dining and entertaining during the warmer months, while the garden as a whole offers plenty of space for relaxation and gardening.

For those with a keen interest in horticulture, the greenhouse provides an excellent space for growing plants and seedlings, while a garden shed offers useful storage for garden tools and equipment.

The combination of the property's set-back position, private driveway, landscaped gardens and useful outbuildings makes the outside space both attractive and practical, with good scope for enjoying the garden throughout the year.
