Description
Dating from the early 1900s, this characterful home has been tastefully updated in parts, whilst retaining its original period charm and enjoys a delightful setting at the heart of Bisham with the village school, pub and church all within 0.2 miles. There is an open green aspect to the rear which leads towards the river Thames, while to the front the house looks out over the charming village streets. The spacious accommodation has been updated in recent years, while a rear extension was added in the late nineties. There is excellent potential for further updates or personalisation.
The entrance hall features an attractive stained glass front door and provides useful understairs storage. The well-proportioned sitting/dining room is a cosy and inviting open-plan space, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining, with original wooden flooring and an attractive fireplace housing a modern wood-burning stove.
The kitchen has been fitted in a traditional style with painted wood units and granite work surfaces, with space for a table. Appliances include a Bosch oven and a John Lewis hob and dishwasher. The rear of the house has been extended to provide a snug area within the kitchen, with both a side door and double doors leading out to the garden.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom features a charming period fireplace, whilst the second bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, adding character and a sense of space. A third double bedroom and family bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation.
The property includes a large west-facing garden. Mostly enclosed by greenery and providing a degree of privacy, the garden comprises a lawn and patio areas, with planted borders and both small and mature trees.
An insulated workshop with electricity offers excellent storage and workspace, or could be reverted to a covered car port for those who wish to park instead. There is driveway parking.
