This Grade II listed period home offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within the sought-after Chalke Valley. Nestled in a desirable location, the property is conveniently close to local amenities, including an excellent school, a public house, and a shop. The home is set on approximately one-third of an acre of private grounds, bordered by open fields at the rear, enhancing its tranquil setting.
The residence features several key attributes that highlight its potential. A covered entrance porch leads into a welcoming hallway with access to a cloakroom. The sitting room boasts a remarkable inglenook fireplace, complete with a bressumer beam and an original bread oven, while the LPG gas-fired stove adds both charm and practicality. Exposed ceiling beams and oak flooring contribute to the period character of this space.
Adjacent to the sitting room is a family room with windows on two sides that fill the area with natural light; it also provides direct access to the garden. The kitchen/dining room is equipped with wooden work surfaces and essential appliances, including a two-oven Aga and modern cooking facilities. This functional layout creates a great space for family meals and gatherings.
Upstairs, you'll find ample bedroom space across two levels. The first floor hosts a large double-aspect bedroom featuring built-in wardrobes alongside another bright bedroom with an en-suite wash basin. The second floor comprises two additional bedrooms that retain charming details such as wooden floorboards and exposed beams, both offering pleasant views of the surrounding landscape. A well-appointed shower room services this level.
The exterior presents significant investment potential as well—with approved planning permission for extensions on both sides and at the rear, allowing for further enhancement of living space tailored to modern family needs. The garden is well-established, enclosed by hedging and stock fencing; it features productive areas such as vegetable plots, mature shrubs, specimen trees—including numerous apple trees—and paved seating areas for outdoor enjoyment.
Additional conveniences include off-road parking with space for garaging (with permission granted), as well as an electric car charging point located near the wooden garage. Moreover, this property uniquely owns bankland across the road, further accentuating its distinctiveness.
With its combination of historical charm and untapped potential, this home represents an exciting project for those looking to invest in or renovate within this picturesque locale.
