Set in the heart of the Bride Valley, this newly renovated Grade II listed semi-detached home blends period character with modern living. Extended sympathetically, the property offers generous family accommodation across about 2,750 sqft, including a fully self-contained one-bedroom annexe and a separate insulated office/studio with power, water and internet. The gardens extend to around half an acre and lead directly onto maintained playing fields, a real asset for families.
Practical details are clear: freehold tenure, chain free, LPG boiler for heating (tank on-site), ultrafast broadband availability and a large gravel driveway providing ample off-street parking. High-quality finishes and modern bathrooms sit alongside original stonework, exposed floors and a traditional Aga in the kitchen, delivering a comfortable country lifestyle with contemporary conveniences.
Important considerations: the Grade II listing and conservation area status mean alterations will be constrained and may cause additional costs or delays. The property’s stone walls appear to have little or no insulation (typical of the build era), and heating is via LPG rather than mains gas, which can affect running costs. Local primary schools nearby currently have mixed Ofsted outcomes, which buyers with young children should factor in.
Overall this is a substantial village home suited to families seeking countryside space with flexible accommodation, rural workers needing strong broadband and anyone wanting an annexe or home business setup. Buyers should be prepared for listed-building responsibilities and to review running-cost implications related to heating and maintenance of an older stone property.
