3 bedroom character property

A beautifully modernised three bedroom character home with original features and historic outbuilding

This charming three bedroom home offers a perfect balance of period character and modern family living, with original exposed timber beams flowing throughout and carefully updated interiors designed for everyday comfort.

The ground floor opens into an exceptionally spacious lounge, featuring a striking fireplace and elegant herringbone oak flooring that continues through to the kitchen. The modernised kitchen blends traditional charm with practical design, including a log burning stove styled gas fire set into an alcove, a range of integrated appliances, and stylish worktops.

To the rear, a separate dining room provides a second wood burning stove and a rear window looking out through French style shutters toward the property’s most distinctive feature, the original village bakery, now converted into a large and versatile outbuilding. A downstairs WC is conveniently located which is home to the gas combination boiler, along with rear door access to the garden and outdoor spaces.

Upstairs, the property offers three generously sized double bedrooms, all with window shutters and ample space for storage. One bedroom includes built in storage above the stairwell, while the main bedroom features two full height wardrobes already in place.

The family bathroom has been finished to an exceptional standard, with a cast iron roll top bath and overhead shower, a fitted vanity unit with sink, and modern toilet, all combining comfort and style in a refined setting.

Outside, the home continues to impress. A gated, enclosed southwest facing garden offers great privacy and outdoor space, enhanced by a well-established wisteria that creates a beautiful seasonal display. The former bakery now serves as an ideal workshop, studio or storage space, with double doors opening directly onto the garden. There is also an external entrance to a useful underground cellar.

On approach to the property there is a courtyard featuring raised beds, with access to off street parking and shared access for one neighbouring property.

This is a unique opportunity to own a home full of history, thoughtfully updated to offer practical, stylish and character filled living.
