Adjacent is a formal reception room with solid oak flooring and a Victorian cast-iron fireplace—ideal for entertaining or as a study.

The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/diner, flooded with light from windows on three aspects. A large inglenook hosts an oil-fired Aga and the boiler, while adjacent are shaker-style units, a 4-ring electric hob, and plumbing for modern appliances.

Outside

Overton House sits within beautifully maintained and varied gardens. To the rear, a colourful arrangement of perennials, two wisterias, and a fig tree climb the southern façade, while a leylandii hedge offers complete privacy. A gated pathway leads to a second lawned garden with mature fruit trees and all-day sun.

At the front, a smaller garden area is neatly framed by flowering shrubs and a wrought iron fence. A gravelled drive offers off-road parking for multiple vehicles, leading to a large barn. This is currently used for storage but with fantastic potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

P.S.

A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
