3 Bed Detached House For Sale

A stylish and characterful home at the heart of the village. Recently updated throughout there is much original character and a pretty sun trap rear garden.


Description

Dating from 1869 and previously the village school house there are many original features within the house which itself is finished in a gothic brick and flint style on the outside. Many of the ceilings are of a good height and are vaulted. Some original leaded light windows, exposed floorboards and some period tiling complete the look.

This charming characterful home has been updated and reconfigured to provide good sized living areas which open onto the pretty, private garden to the rear.

The entrance hallway provides a storage space for coats and a guest cloakroom. This opens into the lounge which has a high ceiling and corner mounted wood burner stove. Just off here is the modern fitted kitchen diner with bi fold doors also opening onto the garden.

From the lounge the staircase rises to the galleried landing above. Off here there are three bedrooms, with the main bedroom suite featuring an attractive en suite bathroom with a rolltop bath as its centrepiece. The other bedrooms share a modernised family bathroom. Both of the bathrooms have underfloor heating.

There is off road parking to the front of the house for a couple of cars. A gated entrance leads to the side of the house where there is a timber Home Office. The garden itself is to the rear with a paved patio and lawn area. A newly built pergola provides a sheltered seating area in the summer.
