A charming, mid-Victorian semi-detached house having been extended to create a flexible family home, set in wonderful gardens extending to approximately ¾ of an acre.

The fitted kitchen comprises of John Lewis of Hungerford units with pale green cabinetry and marble work surfaces, with a breakfast room off to the side and separate dining room adjacent. A useful cellar is accessed via a brick staircase, fully equipped with power and lighting. On the first floor are 4 bedrooms, one currently presented as a study and a bathroom with separate WC.


For the first time in over 35 years, this charming Victorian house is now on the market. Built in 1866 as part of a single large home, it was later thoughtfully divided into two distinct properties. In 1978, the house underwent a significant two-storey extension to the rear, creating a spacious living room on
the ground floor, along with two additional bedrooms on the first floor. The ground guest suite was added to the rear of the double garages in 2002.


The guest suite features a large triple-aspect room with a vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace, complete with an inset wood-burning stove. French doors open out to the gardens with a large automatic awning . The suite includes a spacious shower room with glass and tile enclosure, pedestal washbasin and WC. Adjacent is a large utility room with generous space and plumbing for laundry machines, along with an oil-fired boiler for central heating and hot water. This leads through to the substantial garage.


However, the true highlight is the magnificent garden, which extends to approximately ¾ of an acre . The generous front driveway provides parking for 3-4 cars, and features an ornamental pond. The south-facing rear gardens are split into two sections, offering a stunning variety of specimen trees, shrubs and plants. attracting an abundance of wildlife. Structural highlights include a dining gazebo, a superb treehouse, and deck, a second pond and a vine-covered pergola. The second part of the garden includes raised vegetable beds, fruit and herb gardens with greenhouses and sheds, all backing onto farmland with elevated views over a valley.
