A much loved and totally transformed period property in a superb setting, this home has so much to offer. You’ll find spacious, well-proportioned accommodation within and a delightful mature garden wrapping around – in a highly desirable position that is rarely available.

Lovingly Restored The owner of this impressive home has been here for around 30 years and over this time the property has surpassed both her needs and expectations. “We wanted to live in the middle of the countryside but with four growing children at various schools that wasn’t an option. This offered the right balance, so we stayed and raised our family here,” she smiles. Initially the house needed a lot of work and the family embraced the renovation, seeing the potential of the late Victorian home. They have been through top to bottom, including a new roof, and have made the most of the accommodation, with its handsome frontage, well-proportioned rooms and abundant light throughout. There are plenty of original features including fireplaces, wooden floors, picture rails and a lovely, elegant staircase. All the character remains and the house is also perfect for modern living, with the only structural change being the opening of the kitchen into the dining room to create a wonderful family space.

Elegant And Comfortable It’s no surprise this is the heart of the home, day to day. It’s cosy with the wood burner in winter and filled with light all year round. There’s plenty of space for a keen cook to let loose and have fun getting creative in the kitchen and for kids to sit up at the table for homework after school, or for friends to sit around the table for weekend brunches, Sunday lunch or evening suppers. The main sitting room is elegant and impressive but also warm and welcoming, being dual aspect with a gorgeous bay window. There’s a large ground floor bedroom – ideal for anyone with limited mobility – that would also make a fabulous playroom. Upstairs, the master bedroom is most impressive and all three first-floor bedrooms have feature fireplaces. The owner’s children have grown up and flown the nest but they still return regularly, along with their own families. “It’s a great house for social occasions and gatherings and we’ve all made so many memories here. It’s a lovely place to spend time together.”

Wildlife Within Reach The property sits in an enviable position, set well back on a quiet corner of a peaceful residential road, so there’s very little passing traffic and a high degree of privacy. The garden wraps around and is a really good size. “Sitting out the back it’s so peaceful that you could be anywhere,” smiles the owner. She is a great lover of wildlife and has landscaped the garden to attract as many different species and birds as possible. This is a place where you can get away from it all if you want to, but you’re also within easy reach of everything. There are nature reserves, marshes, beach and close by, with places to walk dogs, watch wildlife, a choice of shops, schools, cafes, parks and more all just a short stroll from the house. “I don’t think you could ask for a better location – everything is on the doorstep but you don’t feel remotely cramped or hemmed in – in fact, there’s a real sense of space and seclusion here at home.” Agents Notes: All measurements are approximate and quoted in imperial with metric equivalents and for general guidance only and whilst every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy, they must not be relied on.
