A rare opportunity arises to acquire this truly stunning Grade II listed home, a unique residence that was originally two period cottages and has since been beautifully converted into one characterful dwelling. Blending its rich heritage with a carefully considered modern twist, this property is steeped in history while offering the comforts of contemporary living – a home that is both charming and practical.
The current owners have meticulously refurbished the property, preserving its character-defining features such as Yorkshire stone floors, exposed brick chimney breasts, original barn doors, and not one but two striking inglenook fireplaces with log-burning stoves. These period details are enhanced by tasteful modern finishes, making the home warm, inviting, and ready to enjoy.
The ground floor welcomes you with a gorgeous entrance hall, a striking first impression that perfectly sets the tone of charm and character. From here, there is access to the lounge, kitchen, and staircase leading to the first-floor landing.
The lounge is a room of exceptional charm, with an inglenook fireplace and log burner as its centrepiece. It is filled with natural light thanks to its dual-aspect windows, including a large picture window to the rear, framing uninterrupted views over the neighbouring cricket field – a truly unique outlook.
The kitchen is equally impressive, offering another inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove, a rustic yet functional cottage-style design with Belfast sink, dual-aspect windows, and a picture window overlooking the cricket field. The Yorkshire stone floor adds depth and authenticity, while the barn door completes the traditional country aesthetic. This is a room that effortlessly combines history and homeliness, while also being practical for modern-day living.
On the first floor, a versatile utility room offers a variety of uses – whether as a laundry space, home office, or store room – adding to the property’s adaptability.
The bedrooms are filled with personality and heritage detail. The master suite is a true highlight, boasting a feature exposed brick chimney breast, dual-aspect windows that flood the room with light, a walk-in wardrobe, and a private en-suite shower room finished with style. Bedroom two also enjoys the charm of an exposed brick chimney breast, while bedroom three is enhanced by a stunning picture window with panoramic views over the surrounding fields. The landing itself is an architectural feature, offering another large picture window with breathtaking rural and cricket field views stretching as far as the eye can see.
Externally, the property has been designed for ease of maintenance without compromising character. To the front is a low-maintenance enclosed garden, while to the rear is an additional enclosed garden space, currently enjoyed with the grace of the cricket club – a truly unique benefit to this remarkable home.
This exquisite Grade II listed property offers the rare balance of authentic period living and modern comfort, all set in an idyllic position with enviable views. It must be viewed to fully appreciate the craftsmanship, charm, and warmth it provides.
