Description

Step into this detached family home, originally built in 1885 and beautifully maintained to preserve its period charm while offering modern convenience. Nestled along a quiet country lane in a sought-after semi-rural location, this residence provides flexible accommodation across three floors.

Heading upstairs again, two generous double bedrooms with ample eaves storage complete the accommodation, offering peace and privacy away from the main living areas — ideal for older children and guests.

The property sits on a generous plot, with landscaped gardens featuring Indian stone patios and a covered side seating area, perfect for alfresco dining or soaking in the tranquil setting from different angles. Steps lead to enchanting 'wild gardens', providing a natural haven for wildlife and a true escape into nature.

Access is via a charming cobbled driveway and an integral garage with an electric door for added convenience and security.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled detached home in a serene yet accessible location, offering space, style, and soul in equal measure. Ideal for families seeking a lifestyle move or those who value heritage with a touch of country luxury.
