About this property
OWNERS COMMENTS
In the owners words “Red House and garden has given three generations of the family so much pleasure. The house itself is full of light with loads of storage space. The garden is like a number of outside rooms with hidden places the grandchildren in particular enjoyed as they grew up. We’ve enjoyed weddings, anniversaries, christenings, birthdays and family parties in the garden. Spring the garden is full of bulbs and Autumn full of fruit. It’s been a joy for the family to live and enjoy our time here.”

A HOMELY HOME!
Wow – we absolutely adore this gorgeous home, and a home it most certainly is! Dating back to the 1950's and beautifully maintained over the years, it radiates charm, comfort and a wonderful sense of space and light throughout.
The welcoming open hallway, complete with the original front door, sets the tone perfectly, and leads into a cosy front-facing lounge with an attractive fireplace and bay window. From here, the layout flows effortlessly into the dining room and on into the conservatory, creating a seamless connection straight out to the garden – ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is a delight, practical yet full of character, featuring a large picture window framing lovely garden views, a comforting Rayburn, two pantries, and space for a table. Completing the ground floor is a convenient shower room and internal access to the garage. Upstairs, you’ll find four generous double bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in wardrobes. with a particularly spacious principal room offering a small en-suite area, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom – altogether a truly warm, inviting, and much-loved home.
THE OUTSIDE IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE INSIDE!
And outside is equally as impressive – a true continuation of everything this wonderful home has to offer!
A long driveway sweeps you in, arriving at a generous parking and turning area, complete with two garages and three useful outbuildings tucked beyond. The front garden is simply idyllic, with a charming pond, neatly kept lawns, and a beautiful array of mature shrubs, trees, and flowering plants that burst into colour at this time of year. To the rear, the conservatory opens out onto a patio, creating the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, before giving way to a generous lawn that gently blends into a more natural orchard and woodland area and with bags of potential for creating a new lifestyle for you - ample space for growing veg, keeping chickens etc. Here, in spring, you’ll find bluebells and daffodils in abundance, adding a truly magical, seasonal touch.
Altogether, the property sits within just under an acre of land, offering space, privacy, and a wonderfully tranquil setting to enjoy.
