***A DISTINCTIVE SIX-BEDROOM PERIOD HOME WITH EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTER, SET WITHIN A ONE-ACRE PLOT***

Dating back to the 1700s, this charming six-bedroom detached residence is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home full of character and history. Spanning three levels and offering over an acre of mature grounds, this unique property is perfectly positioned for convenient access to the motorway network and highly regarded local schools, making it ideal for families and commuters alike.

Approached via a private, tree-lined driveway with an orchard to one side, the property sits behind a generous lawned garden framed by mature hedging for privacy. A detached double garage/workshop with electric door sits to the side, currently divided into a gym and workshop, and benefits from an ample hard-standing driveway to the front.

Inside, the home retains many traditional features including an impressive staircase, exposed ceiling beams and a striking period fireplace in the sitting room; the top of which was once used as a traditional bread oven. Entered through a storm porch at the front, the main lounge is a spacious and inviting room with sash windows to the front and side, wooden flooring, and a natural flow through to a second reception room. From here, double doors open into a formal dining room, which in turn leads into a large kitchen, creating an ideal layout for entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, with windows to the front and rear and a door providing external access.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room housing the boiler, a Belfast sink, and space for laundry appliances, along with another external door to the rear. From the inner hallway, steps descend to a guest WC, which we have been advised, offers potential to be opened up into a larger cellar area, subject to the necessary works. A cosy snug and an old conservatory (in need of attention) complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor are three generously sized double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, along with a spacious family bathroom featuring a raised-level jacuzzi bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, bidet, and vanity basin. The second floor hosts two further double bedrooms and an additional en suite shower room.

Externally, a courtyard-style patio wraps around the side and rear of the property, offering a delightful setting for al fresco dining and relaxation.

While the home has been lovingly maintained over the years, it offers prospective buyers a wonderful opportunity to update and modernise to suit individual tastes, all while preserving the wealth of character that makes this property so special.

If you're seeking a distinctive family home with historical charm, generous living space, and huge potential then this exceptional property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
