After decades of ownership, this 1926 home has been transformed with an incredible amount of care and craftsmanship.

The current owner has worked through the house from top to bottom. Every wall lining has been replaced, gibbed and insulated, the original weatherboards have been renewed or replaced or carefully planed back and the whole house has been painted inside and out. The windows are all double glazed, with new light fittings and drapes adding the finishing touch. It is easy to appreciate the amount of work that has gone into bringing this home to where it is today.

The layout is just as you would expect from a home of this era, with a wide hallway and three bedrooms positioned along the right-hand side. The large lounge is light and spacious, while the dining room opens through French doors onto a lovely private garden patio.

The kitchen has been updated and has all the expected appliances, including a dishwasher and has a gorgeous outlook over the back garden. One of the more practical features is the rear entrance, which opens into a large scullery and storage area before leading into the kitchen. It works much like a mudroom and is a very useful space for everyday living.

The garage is unusually large and thanks to some laserlite panels in the ceiling, surprisingly light. There was once a separate room here, but the current owner chose to incorporate it into the garage, creating a generous space that suits his needs, there’s space to transform it back if you wished.

The garden has been well cared for, with an established vegetable garden already dug over and covered to keep the local critters out. It is a great head start for anyone who enjoys growing their own vegetables.

Heating is provided by a central heat pump with a heat-transfer system, keeping the whole house warm. The bathroom is perfectly serviceable but could benefit from an update in time, giving the new owner the opportunity to add value and make it their own.

This is a home where the hard work has been done and done exceptionally well. If you are looking for a character home with genuine quality and warmth, without the hefty price tag that often comes with this level of work, this property is well worth a look. I think you’ll love it!
