Set within the desirable Drinkstone village, this four-bedroom Victorian semi offers generous, characterful living space and a large, private wrap-around garden. The house feels deceptively spacious and includes two reception rooms, a large conservatory and useful outbuildings with obvious potential for a home office or studio. A double garage and private parking complete the plot, and the property is offered with no onward chain.
The house retains period features such as open fireplaces and timber framing, giving strong character and kerb appeal. Practical benefits include double glazing fitted post-2002 and oil-fired central heating via boiler and radiators. The conservatory provides an all-seasons entertaining room and opens directly onto mature, well-stocked gardens screened by hedging for privacy.
Buyers should note the property will benefit from updating and improvements. The kitchen dates from the 1980s and some internal areas could be modernised to improve energy performance. Construction details indicate timber-frame walls with assumed limited insulation, and an EPC has been recorded as F, so buyers should expect higher running costs and potential works to bring the fabric and insulation up to current standards.
For families seeking village life with good local schools and countryside access, this home delivers space, outdoor living and conversion potential. It will particularly suit buyers who value location and character and are prepared to invest in targeted refurbishment to unlock further comfort and efficiency.
