PROPERTY IN BRIEF

We are delighted to offer this delightful character three bedroom semi-detached family home located in a much sought-after village. Being convenient to the village centre, local schools, and excellent commuter links.

The property presents a fantastic opportunity to add your own stamp and style, the property does require modernisation, yet at present is perfectly liveable but you are likely to modernise throughout. The property is sold with the benefit of no upward chain.

The living accommodation is spacious and full of many character features, with a large open-plan lounge/dining space with period feature fireplaces and original oven, with a spacious kitchen/breakfast room to the rear linking to the garden.

Upstairs, are three bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom.

The property benefits from off-road parking to the front with good space for several cars, and the all-important south-west facing and generous sized rear garden and patio.

APPROACH

The property is an attractive home from the front, a character properly with many features that you are about to discover. The property is set-back from the roadside, offering a tarmac drive providing comprehensive parking and nicely separated with the neighbours by a traditional-style picket fence. There is access along the side of the property into the rear garden.

The French UPVC glazed patio doors greet you into the porch which is a great space to kick off shoes on a wet rainy day, having windows to the front and sides, and a red tile flooring.

LIVING ACCOMMODATION

Welcome inside the property. The entrance hallway immediately has stairs rising to the bedrooms, with a wooden internal door which offers a feature stained-glass patterned window to introduce you to the character and age of this home. The hallway has a central heating radiator, lighting and alarm panel ( not tested).

Step inside into the lounge/dining room. Again, the space is full of character and you can immediately feel the potential of this home. A couple of key features here is the large bay window with double glazed windows looking into the driveway, being east-facing to catch the morning sunrise, and enjoying a Victorian-style gas fire, picture rails around the space, with the front lounge area opening into the rear dining space. There’s a useful under stairs storage cupboard with a window to the side elevation and home to the Worcester boiler and the utilities.

The section to the rear of the lounge is a spacious area with feature rose alcove and picture rail, and a fantastic original feature fireplace and oven. Such charming features that we are sure you would want to keep. The dining room will easily accommodate a large dining table, however, with the space of the kitchen, you may prefer to use this space as more of a sitting area. There are triple windows to the side elevation.

To the rear of the house is the kitchen/breakfast, a good size space stretching the width of the property, and offering a good range of traditional wall and base solid units with tiled work-surface space and splash-back around. Although you are likely to replace the kitchen with something more modern, I do have to say that this kitchen really does match the period of the property, and you may want to be creative with it to retain the character. There is space within this room for a breakfast table, a window to the rear and the door to open out to the garden, central heating and space for a table.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOM

Welcome upstairs. The first surprise is the generous landing area which is a flexible space, firstly, serving as a landing area creating a good open space for the morning rush-hour, whilst opening up opportunities for an office area should you work from home, kids play area for their toys, or even a cosy place for the dog to have their own space. It may open up opportunities for creating en-suite to the rear bedroom. The landing gives access to the three bedrooms and family bathroom as well as having a frosted window to the side elevation and stairs.

The main bedroom is set to the front of the house, enjoying a tall double glazed opening window to the front elevation being east-facing to catch the morning sun as your alarm clock. The bedroom is a good size, having a central heating radiator with thermostat control and a useful wardrobe over the stairs with shelves and hanging space.

The second and third bedroom are both located at the rear of the house enjoying the garden view, both being neutrally presented and offering generous floor space, where the second bedroom has the benefit of a built-in storage wardrobe.

The bathroom is a great size, offering a traditional suite, comprising of a large bath with central individual taps, and a separate shower offering a mains-fed control and shower door, as well as a period style Ideal Standard pedestal wash basin with individual taps and a toilet. The bathroom is presented with half-height tiles and the chimney style skylight showering natural light into the bathroom. There’s also a central heating radiator.

OUTSIDE SPACE

If you’re looking for a larger garden, then look no further, this home certainly delivers. Boasting a south-west facing garden, perfect for those sunny days and evenings, whilst providing a great space for the kids to play safely, and for the family dog to run around at their hearts content. First of all, there is a large patio area as you step out from the kitchen, which is perfect for your outdoor dining furniture and barbecue, with a generous lawn area stretching to the rear, where you will find a handy brick-built store building.
