Generous versatile living, extensive mature gardens and parking for several cars.
Period detached home over three floors and 2,246 sq ft total
Set on a private pedestrian path in the heart of Bishopstone, this detached period home offers roomy, flexible living across three floors. Once the village court room, the main reception centres on a fireplace with wood-burning stove; the open-plan kitchen/breakfast room opens to a paved terrace and large gardens — ideal for family life and entertaining.
Four double bedrooms upstairs include a principal with ensuite, while the lower ground floor provides a second reception, shower room and utility/boot room. That lower reception could serve as a fifth bedroom or independent guest space, giving scope for multigenerational use or longer-term rental potential.
The rear gardens are a standout: very large, well-planted grounds with specimen trees, meandering paths, a veranda and direct access to a chalk stream. The elevated position also provides attractive views across the village rooftops and ensures a high degree of privacy and tranquillity.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the 1950s–1960s and has an energy rating of E. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (not on a community system), and drainage is to a septic tank. Double glazing is present, but installation dates are unknown. These factors may mean immediate or medium-term maintenance and running-cost considerations for a buyer.
