The Property
Lying at the end of a no-through lane, yet within striking distance of the town centre, is this extended detached period home with detached garage and gated parking — a rare find for the area. From the lane, the property appears understated, yet passing through the gates into the rear garden reveals a home set within its own private oasis. Entry can be gained via the rear hall, kitchen or conservatory. On the ground floor, the kitchen is fitted with a tiled floor and modern units incorporating drawers, dishwasher, large fridge and larder cupboard. A Belfast sink sits beneath the window, while the Stoves range cooker is a cook’s dream. The kitchen opens to the dining room via a step up. Here, exposed beams and wooden flooring create character, while a staircase rises to the fourth bedroom. The dining room flows into the conservatory, offering flexible sitting and dining space, flooded with natural light. The sitting room features an exposed Cotswold stone fireplace with inset wood burner. Further exposed beams add charm, while a staircase rises to the first floor. A door leads to the natural stone tiled rear hall, where there are storage cupboards, a downstairs shower room and utility area. From the landing, there is a magnificent bathroom. This sizeable room, with wooden flooring, includes a walk-in shower with a perspex shower wall, showing the original exterior wall of cottage and copper piping, central clawfoot bath, WC and basin, together with a cupboard housing the boiler and hot water cylinder. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, both with built-in wardrobes. The attic bedroom is vaulted, featuring an exposed Cotswold stone wall, exposed timbers and a corner wardrobe cupboard. Accessed via the second staircase, the fourth bedroom also enjoys exposed beams and a window overlooking the garden. Property Information Heating: Gas central heating and a wood burner. Ofcom: Broadband: Ultrafast and Mobile coverage is good outside, & variable inside
Outside
Tucked behind two large solid wood doors is a spacious driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The detached garage, with an electric door, offers additional parking and benefits from a useful storage loft above. A pedestrian gate beneath a wisteria arch leads you into the landscaped garden, featuring both a decked terrace and a paved patio ideal for outdoor dining. The garden is enclosed by fencing and a period stone and brick wall, creating a private and attractive setting. The majority of the garden is level and laid to lawn, with a further pedestrian gate leading out to the lane. Additional features include a water feature and pond, raised lavender beds, and a variety of mature shrubs and trees. Despite being so close to the town centre, the garden feels wonderfully secluded.
