Description

This spacious property, rich in history and character, dates back to the pre-1900s and offers a blend of traditional charm and modern conveniences. Accessed through a rear entrance porch, the home opens into a welcoming hallway that leads to several versatile living spaces. The ground floor includes a generous living room with sliding doors that connect to the garden, a formal dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen with an adjacent utility room. Additionally, there is a sitting room, a cellar for extra storage, and a convenient shower room/WC. The first floor presents five reasonably sized bedrooms, complemented by a recently renovated four-piece family bathroom that maintains the home's historical aesthetic. An interesting feature of this level is the storage area, which holds potential for conversion back into an additional bathroom if desired. A self-contained annex supplements the main house, making it ideal for independent living arrangements or possible rental options such as an Airbnb. This space features its own entrance hall, living room with vaulted ceilings, two bedrooms, and a modern wet room/WC. The outdoor area enhances the property's appeal; it boasts a well-kept garden adorned with mature trees and shrubs as well as a stone-paved patio suitable for alfresco dining. The pebbled driveway provides ample parking space with access to both a carport and a brick-built outbuilding equipped with power and light—opening up possibilities for further development or alternative uses pending necessary planning approvals. With recent rewiring (excluding the kitchen) completed in 2022 and ongoing roof maintenance ensuring structural integrity, this property is poised for renovation opportunities that can unlock its full potential while preserving its original charm. Its location also offers convenient access to local amenities and transport links, making it an attractive investment prospect in today's market.
