This Grade II listed home, dating back to the early 19th century, boasts significant renovation and investment potential within its 1241 sq ft of living space. Constructed from local stone and topped with a classic clay tile roof, the property encapsulates historic charm while offering an opportunity for modern enhancements.
The interior showcases a blend of characterful features, including exposed beams and window seats that reflect its heritage. The spacious entrance hall leads into light-filled reception areas. The living/dining room is designed around an impressive stone hearth with a cast iron log-burning stove and a bressummer beam mantel, creating a cozy focal point. A thoughtful division between the dining area and living space allows for both openness and privacy, with French doors that open directly onto the garden.
The kitchen retains a charming aesthetic with painted cabinetry, stone flooring, and a central island unit, all of which could be updated to enhance functionality. A door in the kitchen also opens up to the garden, promoting seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, the generous landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms, which are served by a family bathroom equipped with a complete suite. Natural light fills these spaces, presenting opportunities for personalization.
The south-facing garden is substantial and predominantly laid to lawn, making it an ideal canvas for landscaping projects or outdoor enhancements. A paved patio area offers a secluded spot for relaxation and is accessible via double French doors from the main reception room.
Adding to the property's charm is a timber summerhouse fitted with power and lighting, suitable for use as an office or study. Moreover, the significant stone barn at the rear presents exceptional potential for conversion or expansion—subject to necessary planning permissions—making this property appealing not only as a home but also as an investment opportunity.
