THROUGH THE STAINED GLASS ARCHWAY, THIS MODERNISED 3 STOREY, 3 BEDROOM HOME IS FULL OF CHARACTER AND CHARM WITH MULTIPLE DOWNSTAIRS LIVING SPACES TO ENJOY!
Our Agent Jodie says:
“The moment you turn onto the paved driveway and see the stained-glass archway leading into the courtyard garden, it instantly sets a welcoming tone and hints at the charm that lies ahead!
As you step inside you’re greeted by a generous living and dining space, it’s open yet cosy, with natural light that flows across the room. The feature fireplace with wooden hearth really adds to the character of the room. The kitchen is my favourite room, sleek, practical, and anchored by a breakfast bar that’s perfect for morning chats. Just off to the side, the utility room keeps things tidy and tucked away and features a handy guest toilet, while the snug offers a peaceful space to unwind with a book or a quiet cuppa, with large windows and a door in to the courtyard. The two spaces blend effortlessly.
Upstairs, the main bedroom feels like a sanctuary, especially with its Juliet balcony that opens to fresh air and beautiful views. The second bedroom is currently styled as a study, and it works brilliantly as a creative space or home office. The family bathroom is thoughtfully finished, with a calm, clean aesthetic.
Then there’s the top floor where you’ll find the third bedroom, which could easily become the main suite. It’s private, spacious, and has that ‘tucked-under-the-eaves’ charm that makes it feel like a secret hideaway.
Outside, the tandem driveway offers plenty of parking as well as being practical with the EV charger. The courtyard garden is private, peaceful, and framed by that stunning stained glass archway that makes every arrival feel special. A great addition is the outbuilding which includes electric; practical and perfect for storage!
This home has a lovely flow to it. It’s practical, yes, but also full of warmth and character”.
Ours Sellers Thoughts:
"What we love most about our home is how deceptively spacious it is — it’s like a real-life Tardis! Despite its generous size, it still feels wonderfully warm and homely. As a family of four, we really appreciate that the house offers everyone their own quiet space to relax or do their own thing. The master bedroom is a particular favourite, with French doors and a Velux window that fill the space with light and fresh air. We love stepping out onto the balcony to enjoy a peaceful coffee on warm summer mornings. The open-plan living and dining area is another highlight, offering great flexibility to design the layout in whatever way suits your lifestyle best. We’ve really enjoyed living here and hope it brings as much joy to another family as it has to ours."
