DETAILS
Accommodation
As you approach this charming home, you are immediately struck by its attractive 1930's façade, featuring distinctive square double bay windows to both the ground and first floors, giving it a timeless and welcoming presence.
Stepping inside, the house retains a wonderful sense of its period origins, with two traditional reception rooms set to either side of the hallway. To one side is a cosy sitting room, centred around a wood burner, perfect for relaxing evenings, while opposite is a versatile family room, currently used as a games room but equally suited to a formal dining room, as it may once have been. The hallway itself is both spacious and practical, with an open under stairs area providing an ideal spot for coats, boots, and everyday essentials.
Accommodation contd.
To the rear, the house opens up into a striking contrast of style and space, revealing a surprisingly generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area designed with modern family life in mind. This light-filled and sociable space features a stylish shaker-style kitchen, thoughtfully arranged with a breakfast bar that subtly defines the cooking and living areas. It’s easy to imagine this becoming the heart of the home, where day-to-day life unfolds. In the warmer months, bi-fold doors open out to the garden, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors and creating a wonderful setting for entertaining and family time alike. A useful utility/boot room and a downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Accommodation contd.
Upstairs, the original part of the house offers four bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles, with two benefitting from built-in storage and one benefitting from its own en-suite shower room. The fourth bedroom is smaller, making it ideal as a nursery, toddler’s room, or a quiet study space. A well-appointed family bathroom also serves this floor.
However, it is the principal bedroom suite, set to the rear of the house, that truly stands out. Enjoying a south-facing aspect with lovely views over the garden, this impressive space feels calm, bright, and indulgent. It is complemented by a contemporary shower room and a walk-in wardrobe, creating a private retreat that perfectly balances style and comfort.
Outside
The property is approached via a private driveway, providing parking for several vehicles and an immediate sense of privacy. Double gates to one side open onto the south-facing rear garden, a safe and inviting space where children can play and families can enjoy outdoor life. A paved patio runs along the rear of the house and continues down the side of the garden, leading to a highly practical outbuilding. Part of this comprises a garage with an up-and-over door, light and power. While access is somewhat restricted, it would be ideal for bicycles, motorbikes, or even a small vintage car safely stored. Attached to the garage is a workshop and additional storage area, offering the perfect solution for all those family essentials that need a home, from garden equipment to sports gear. The garden and outbuildings together create a versatile, family-friendly outdoor space that complements the comfort and style of the house.
