Classic Detached Home with Workshop and Spacious Garden

Welcome to a classic detached residence that was built in the early sixties. The house was originally constructed in 1961 and reflects the architectural approach that was common for entrepreneurs who required both a living space and a workshop on the same plot. The property sits on a sizable lot of six hundred five square metres in a quiet residential street that is close to the lively centre of the village. Within walking distance there are shops, a market square, two primary schools and a range of other daily conveniences.

The dwelling offers a total living area of one hundred forty one square metres spread across two full floors and a loft space. The ground floor begins with an entrance hall that contains the electrical panel and provides access to a traditional wooden staircase leading to the upper level. To the side of the entrance is a spacious living room of thirty three square metres. The room benefits from abundant natural light thanks to multiple windows and includes a fireplace that adds a traditional touch. A brick built pass connects the living room to the kitchen area.

The kitchen follows a U shaped layout and is equipped with a simple kitchen unit and the usual built in appliances. From the kitchen a door leads to a deep cellar with a height of one point seven eight metres. Adjacent to the kitchen there is a modern toilet that includes a small sink and a connection for a washing machine. The bathroom on this level is also modern and provides a bathtub, a separate shower, a wash basin and a mirror. A large parent bedroom is located on the ground floor, making the home suitable for senior occupants who prefer to avoid stairs.

Moving to the first floor, a hallway with two built in wardrobes leads to three additional bedrooms. The master bedroom on this level is fitted with a sliding wardrobe door and an additional fixed wardrobe, providing ample storage space. All three rooms share the same floor level, offering flexibility for families with children or for use as office or hobby rooms.

Above the first floor a loft space is reachable via a pull down ladder. The loft has a head height of one point two five metres and can be used for storage or as a small play area. The loft is accessed from the hallway, allowing easy reach without the need for a separate stair.

A separate outbuilding is situated at the rear of the property. The workshop measures approximately fifteen point zero eight metres by nine point two metres. Inside the workshop there is a storage room equipped with a pantry and a small loft storage area. The workshop provides numerous possibilities for a home business, hobby work or additional storage.

The garden is divided into a front and a side area. The front garden is nicely planted with a variety of shrubs and two mature trees that provide shade and visual interest. A decorative fence outlines the front boundary. The side garden is largely used as a yard and offers a large open space of one hundred square metres that can be shaped according to the new owner’s preferences. Parking is available on the property with a built‑in stone garage that can accommodate up to five cars.

Energy performance of the house is rated with label D. The heating system consists of a central heating boiler that also supplies hot water, complemented by an open fire in the living room. The boiler was installed in two thousand seven and runs on gas. The windows are largely double glazed with some high performance glass and there is wall insulation in place. The roof is a pitched roof covered with synthetic material and tiles.
