It’s rare a villa this charming, this updated, and this well-located comes to market.It’s a home that hasn’t lost its grace, but it’s picked up some clever updates along the way. The façade whispers heritage; the inside says “welcome to your modern abode”.

The living areas are a blend of cosy and practical. A woodburner set in brick gives the lounge its anchor, while heat pumps and insulation handle the temperature with less fuss. The kitchen is contemporary, wrapped in timber-toned cabinetry, with windows that fling open to let in the hills, the breeze, and conversation flowing out to the deck. Dining connects easily, making family meals or weekend hosting straightforward and social.

Three well-sized bedrooms give you options: two main doubles and a third that adapts easily for guests, work-from-home setups, or hobbies. The main bathroom is bright, efficient and has modern storage, while the separate loo means convenience is in place. Laundry tucks neatly into the same zone, where patterned tiles add a touch of fun to the functionality.There is a large area under the house perfect for storage for firewood and bikes and a workshop area.

The back garden is the kind of place that reminds you to slow down. Stone-edged paths weave through roses, lavender, and bursts of colour that change with the seasons. Hidden nooks hold space for a bistro table or bench seat, shaded by trees and framed with greenery. Whether you’re pruning, planting or just sitting with a book, the section feels more retreat than routine.

Here you get the best of both: a home with vintage soul and modern upgrades, perched in a neighbourhood that’s both handy and charming. You’re walking distance to Thames’ cafés, galleries, and Saturday markets, and only a short drive to the coast. It’s a lifestyle that keeps you connected without compromising the calm.
