Description

Combining timeless character with modern upgrades, this beautifully maintained home offers a perfect balance of style, comfort, and practicality. Set behind a gated entrance with ample parking, this property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owner to create a warm and welcoming space that caters to a variety of lifestyles.

The generous and versatile layout includes four well-sized bedrooms, two on each floor, alongside a family bathroom and a stylish en-suite. One of the ground-floor bedrooms benefits from its own private entrance, making it an ideal option for a home office, creative studio, or guest accommodation. At the heart of the home is a bright, dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, complete with integrated appliances and flooded with natural light, while a cosy, well-proportioned sitting room offers a great space to relax. A separate utility room adds further convenience and includes access to a full-length loft, perfect for additional storage. The property also features double glazing throughout and efficient oil-fired central heating.

To the rear, the low-maintenance courtyard garden enjoys a sunny, west-facing aspect and is beautifully designed with raised beds, climbing plants, and space for potted arrangements, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining. A larger-than-average single garage provides extra storage and shelving, while a recently replaced oil tank, external storage cupboard, and gated access to both the road and a nearby brook enhance the overall functionality and charm of this delightful home.

We have noticed... There is a clear appreciation for homes that offer both character and flexibility, and this property stands out for its thoughtful layout, modern upgrades, and the ability to adapt to a range of lifestyles.
