Victorian charm with an open-plan kitchen/diner and private landscaped garden.
Victorian two-bedroom semi with original features and wood-burning stove
This two-bedroom Victorian semi blends original character with a bright open-plan layout, ideal for first-time buyers or couples seeking village life. The living room centres on an exposed brick chimney and wood-burning stove, while sash-style windows and wooden floors maintain period charm. The rear kitchen/diner opens to a landscaped garden through wide glazed doors and a rooflight, creating a sociable, light-filled space for daily living and entertaining.
Practical comforts include double glazing (fitted post-2002), gas central heating with underfloor heating at ground level, and built-in storage in the main bedroom. The garden is low-maintenance with a paved terrace, neat lawn and raised planters. Off-street parking is available, and the location benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low crime and strong local schools, all within a prosperous rural community.
Material points to note: the property is a small plot Victorian build (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed. The house offers a single bathroom and modest overall square footage (739 sq ft), so space is limited compared with larger family homes. Buyers wanting higher energy efficiency or major modernisation should expect potential retrofit work.
Overall, the house is a characterful, well-located starter home with a usable garden and contemporary kitchen-diner. It suits buyers prioritising village amenities, good schools and a manageable maintenance footprint, while those seeking larger accommodation or fully modern thermal performance may view this as a renovation opportunity.
