Character and comfort

Original quarry tiles and built-in storage cabinetry add character and functionality to the entrance hall. Further along the inviting hallway, you’ll find a dedicated area that keeps coats and shoes neatly organised to ensure an uncluttered and polished first impression.

To your left, you’ll find the formal sitting room – a space of quiet elegance, filled with natural light from double-glazed windows adorned with bespoke shutters. At its heart is a log burner set within a beautifully crafted fireplace that adds a sense of warmth and tradition: Perfect for cosy winter evenings.

Opposite, a flexible reception room, currently used as a playroom, features another log burner and bright atmosphere. We love how this space could easily transform into a vibrant family room or second sitting room.

Further down the hallway, a tucked away study provides a peaceful retreat. Boasting another fabulous original fireplace, framed by exposed brickwork, this space is full of charm and is ideal as a home office or reading room. A second door offers a discreet connection into the playroom.

Across from the study, a downstairs cloakroom is well positioned for guests. Styled with classic fixtures, it’s a practical yet elegant addition.

The heart of the home

Opening a charming wooden door with an original thumb latch intact, you’ll be welcomed into a showstopping kitchen.

Extended in 2017, this space is warmed by underfloor heating that creates a comfortable setting for everything from lively family breakfasts to intimate dinner parties. The aga takes pride of place, adding a cosy, quintessentially British touch to this beautifully crafted kitchen.

A spacious breakfast bar invites relaxed gatherings, while gleaming quartz countertops and bespoke Parlour Farm cabinetry offer the highest level of craftsmanship. Every detail is designed for both beauty and function, from high-end Neff appliances, including integrated oven and hob, to the built-in wine fridge that’s always ready to serve up a perfectly chilled glass for guests.

Skylights flood the room with natural light, while in the evening, pendant lights cast a warm, inviting glow. Full width bifold doors open onto the garden, transforming the space into an entertainer’s dream where indoor and outdoor living flow as one.

To the side, you’ll find a generously appointed utility room. Here, handcrafted wooden cabinetry, a double butler sink, and ample space for a washer and dryer keep everything impeccably organised. A side door allows easy access to the garden and garage, perfect for muddy boots and paws.

A first floor sanctuary

Walking up the stairs from the hallway, you’ll arrive at a light, spacious landing with loft access large enough for future expansion.

Either side, you’ll find two well-sized bedrooms, each comfortably fitting a queen bed and boasting large windows with plush carpet underfoot. One room includes a beautiful original fireplace, keeping a touch of heritage to the interiors, while both feature built-in wardrobe storage.

Further down the landing lies a third bedroom, similar in size, offering flexibility for family or guests.

The family bathroom is both generous and beautifully appointed, featuring natural stone tiling and a large walk-in shower by Heritage. Imagine unwinding in the freestanding slipper bath at the end of a long day – it’s hard to beat the sense of calm and privacy this room offers.

Built-in double wardrobes offer ample storage, keeping the suite clutter-free, while a good sized ensuite bathroom features a walk-in shower, WC and elegant finishes.

From the kitchen’s bifold doors you’re drawn seamlessly into the property’s garden – a beautifully manicured space designed for families and hosting guests. The expansive lawn is immaculately kept, bordered by lush greenery that provides a natural sense of privacy. Multiple patios, laid with tasteful stone, create perfect settings for al fresco dinners, summer barbecues or evening sundowners with friends and neighbours.
