This attractive detached former farmhouse blends original character with generous, flexible living space across about 2,213 sq ft. The sitting room’s inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel burner and original bread oven provides a striking focal point and cosy winter evenings, while the country-style kitchen/breakfast room is bright and sociable for everyday family life.
Ground-floor versatility includes a snug/library and separate study — ideal for homework, home working or multigenerational arrangements. Upstairs the principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes, an en-suite and a private balcony overlooking the garden, with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the sleeping accommodation.
Outside, extensive mature gardens, fruit trees, a summerhouse with power, greenhouse and useful workshop/carport deliver space for growing, hobbies and practical storage. A gated sweeping driveway provides plentiful off-street parking and log store facilities. There is scope for sympathetic extension or reconfiguration, subject to planning, for buyers seeking to add value.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: broadband speeds are reported slow, and council tax is high — both relevant for home working or long-term running costs. Overall, this property will suit families or buyers seeking character, flexible accommodation and generous outdoor space in a village setting.
