Characterful four‑bed village home with garden and parking potential.
Victorian coach‑house character with fireplaces and exposed brickwork
This Victorian coach‑house style link‑detached home offers generous, characterful living across two storeys in the heart of Ringstead. The property benefits from three reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/family room with oversized sliding doors, and a private, well‑screened rear garden with a useful brick store. The footprint feels larger than average for the stated overall size, making it well suited to family life or those seeking flexible living spaces.
Key positives include original period features such as fireplaces, exposed brickwork and a vaulted bedroom ceiling, plus double glazing and gas central heating listed (note: main heating currently described as coal/room heaters). There is clear scope to improve and personalise the house — described as a “sleeping giant” — with potential to add value by updating services, insulation and finishes.
Important practical points: the archway and folding gates offer potential for off‑street parking but this would require highways permission and negotiation over shared pedestrian access with the neighbour. The property has solid brick walls (likely without modern cavity insulation) and double glazing installed before 2002, so buyers should expect thermal and energy‑efficiency upgrades and potential modernising of heating and services.
This home will suit a family or buyer looking for period character and room to renovate rather than a move‑in‑perfect finish. There is one family bathroom for four bedrooms and standard ceiling heights throughout. Buyers are advised to arrange a full survey and to verify services and permissions for parking or structural changes.
