A rare detached period house in Isleham offering generous, characterful living across nearly 2,000 sq ft. The house retains exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, sash-style windows and slate/brick flooring, creating warm, traditional reception spaces ideal for family life and entertaining. The layout includes three reception rooms, a farmhouse-style kitchen, a utility, garage and five bedrooms with three bathrooms — flexible space for a home office or guest suite.
Outside there is ample off-street parking, a paved side garden and a fully enclosed lawned rear garden on a decent plot, suitable for children and pets. The property has mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators and benefits from double glazing (install date unknown). Mobile signal is excellent and the village provides local amenities, a primary school and community facilities in a prosperous rural setting.
Buyers should note some material points: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls that are assumed to lack modern insulation, so thermal upgrades may be needed. Broadband speeds are slow and some original features (sash windows, timber elements) may require routine maintenance or sympathetic upgrading. Early viewing recommended to appreciate scale and character and to assess any retrofit works buyers may wish to undertake.
