This distinctive period home offers an excellent opportunity for renovation, blending historical charm with significant potential for modern family living. Spanning over 2,200 sq ft, the residence features traditional craftsmanship highlighted by timbered walls and ceilings, exposed brickwork, and feature fireplaces that could be restored to their former glory. The versatile ground floor layout includes a welcoming reception hall leading to a cosy sitting room and a separate family room, both adorned with inviting wood-burning stoves. The dining area boasts a striking red brick fireplace, perfect for entertaining. An expansive games room with vaulted ceilings adds to the property’s appeal, alongside a farmhouse-style kitchen equipped with shaker-style cabinetry and an Aga, although it may benefit from some updating. Additionally, the practicality of a utility room and shower room on this level can be leveraged during renovations.
Upstairs hosts four spacious bedrooms, two featuring vaulted ceilings that enhance their character—particularly the principal suite which comes with an en suite shower room and period features like a brick fireplace. A family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
Externally, the property is set within generous grounds including various outbuildings totaling over 1,700 sq ft—these spaces present fantastic potential for hobbies or home business ventures.
