The Property
Pushing open the front door of this delightful home, the character that runs throughout is instantly apparent. We are welcomed by the entrance lobby, providing the perfect space for our coats and boots after a wander along the river. A door leads from here into the sitting room. Our eye is drawn to the red brick fireplace housing the wood-burning stove whilst a large window to the front aspect fills the space with natural light and highlights the attractive exposed timber floors. At the rear we step through to the open plan dining room and kitchen, an exceptional space for family living and entertaining alike. The dining area offers ample room for dining and living with a door opening to the staircase and another to the storage below. In the kitchen, a range of cabinets provides our storage and generous working area above, a range style cooker and fitted extractor above, complements the practicality of this family kitchen. Two windows look onto the garden and a door opens to the same. Internally, a lobby area leads us through to the bathroom, which offers a classic white suite boasting a shower over the bath, w/c and wash basin. Climbing the stairs, we find the central landing leading to all three bedrooms and the first-floor cloakroom. The master bedroom is found at the rear of the property, enjoying a view over the gardens. Fitted wardrobes and a large alcove offer great storage solutions to the room. Set to the front a second double bedroom and generous single bedroom are found, both of which again boast fitted wardrobes. Completing the accommodation, the all-important first floor cloakroom offers a w/c and wash basin.

Outside
From Bridge Street we access the property via the front door, whilst rear access via a right of way passes numbers 29 & 31 and leads into the rear garden. At the rear the gardens are a delight. From the kitchen dining room, a door opens to the initial courtyard where we find our utility room and home office, making use of the two original brick outbuildings. Electricity and WiFi are connected in the office. Passing this charming building, we find the first area of the garden centred around entertaining and family life. A brick and flint wall forms the backdrop to this perfect sun trap. A gate opens to a shaded seating area framed with hedging and in turn leads through to the main garden. Here we find a large patio opening to the extensive lawn. A pergola offers a covered seating terrace whilst the centrepiece of the garden is the superb studio, which is insulated and again connected with electricity and WiFi. The studio provides a versatile addition to the home whilst feeling completely detached. Heading to the foot of the garden, we find a large pond. Viewing is essential to appreciate this wonderful space.
