Step Inside

The front door opens into an entrance hall, providing access to the primary ground floor rooms and the staircase to the first floor. To the left, you'll find the living room, a bright space with a window overlooking the front of the property. It features parquet flooring, a tiled fireplace with open fire, and an additional door connecting to the inner hall. The kitchen is fitted with wooden wall and base units, a stainless steel sink, and an electric cooker. A door from the kitchen leads conveniently to the side of the property. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room, which benefits from a Range cooker and a window to the side, creating a practical space for family meals. A useful pantry adds extra storage. Off the entrance hall is a reception room which offers flexibility of use — ideal as a home office, study, or additional sitting room.

The staircase rises to a spacious first floor landing, giving access to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedrooms One, Two, and Three are well-proportioned double rooms. Bedrooms Four and Five are single rooms, ideal for children, guests, or use as a study or hobby room. The family bathroom is fitted with a WC, wash basin, and a bathtub, providing essential amenities and potential for modernisation to suit personal tastes.

Outbuildings and Land

To the right of the house are a number of brick-built outbuildings, offering useful storage or potential for conversion, subject to planning and renovation. At the top of the land, there are two Dutch barns along with additional outbuildings, all of which are in need of attention but present an excellent opportunity for redevelopment or agricultural use. The property’s approximate 1 acre of grounds offers significant versatility—whether for gardening, keeping animals, or exploring development potential (subject to the necessary consents).
