Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove and high ceilings in the principal rooms give the house warmth and charm, while spacious reception rooms provide flexible family living.

Buyers should note the property has an EPC rating of E (49) despite the renewable additions, so further energy improvements may be worthwhile to improve efficiency and running costs. The house sits on a generous plot and dates from the 1800s, so some maintenance and sympathetic updating may be needed to preserve character and maximise value.

It will suit families wanting space and character close to the city, or buyers seeking a roomy village home with scope to improve energy performance.
