As you enter through the front door, you are greeted by a grand, light-filled entrance hall that sets the tone for this warm and inviting home.

The ground floor also boasts the unique advantage of a self-contained space with its own private entrance and bathroom. This area offers fantastic potential to add a small kitchenette at reasonably low cost creating a separate self-contained studio flat (or apartment), ideal for generating additional rental income—estimated at around £700 per month—or providing independent living for extended family members.

A hidden gem of the property is the original outside toilet, a nod to the home’s historic charm. This could be restored to its former glory or integrated into the main house as part of an extension, adding convenience and functionality.

Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized double bedrooms, both with 2 deep fitted wardrobes in each, perfect for relaxation and comfort. The family bathroom is well-appointed, while the master bedroom comes with the added luxury of an en-suite, offering a private retreat within the home.

With its large rear garden, there is ample space to add a substantial rear extension, either to enlarge the kitchen, create an additional living space, or even add a home office or guest suite. The possibilities are endless, making this the perfect opportunity for those seeking to personalize and add value to their property.

The home’s character and charm make it a standout option for families looking to expand while preserving the essence of a period property. With modern updates and a thoughtful extension, this could easily be transformed into a spacious, contemporary family home that seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern living.
