Triple-aspect lounge with bay window, inglenook fireplace and wood burner
This attractive three-bedroom detached house blends period character with practical modern upgrades, set on a generous plot with sweeping countryside views. Original features — parquet and herringbone quarry floors, leaded-light windows and an inglenook fireplace with wood burner — give the house charm, while a fitted oak kitchen, utility room and large family bathroom meet contemporary family needs. Recent works include full resin render (2023), chimney liner replacement and a new consumer unit with 80A fuse for EV charging readiness.
The layout suits family life: a bright triple-aspect lounge with French doors to a veranda, a formal dining room, a ground-floor study area and a useful fully boarded insulated loft with power. Outside, the wrap-around private garden, fruit trees, bespoke greenhouse, two insulated garden rooms and clay block-paved driveway for three to four cars provide space for recreation, hobbies and home working.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the house is of solid brick construction with no known wall insulation, double-glazing install dates are unspecified, and there is a single family bathroom. Council tax is above average, and the property sits on the edge of a small town in an ageing rural neighbourhood—appealing for countryside access but with more limited local amenities than urban locations. Overall, this is a roomy, characterful family home with strong renovation and energy-improvement potential.
