Victorian former public house - property description
Delighted to present this beautiful Victorian former public house, a home steeped in history and idyllic charm. From the striking checkerboard-tiled entrance to the glazed peek window on the staircase, original shelving and period details are woven throughout, giving the property a unique character and an immediate sense of warmth.

Stepping inside, you are spoiled for choice with reception spaces. The front sitting room, finished in traditional period colours, features a brick open fire and provides a cosy setting for family gatherings. Adjacent to this is a snug area that offers a quieter, more intimate space for relaxed evenings. A third reception room currently serves as a fourth bedroom, it also benefits from a second brick open fire, a walk-in dressing room and a well-appointed shower room with a corner shower, basin, WC and heated towel rail. This arrangement lends itself perfectly to multigenerational living or flexible accommodation for guests and extended family.

A dedicated study provides an ideal work-from-home environment and opens directly into the family dining area, creating a practical flow for everyday life. The heart of the home is the large farmhouse-style kitchen, fitted with shaker-style units and integrated appliances including a dishwasher. A central island with granite worktops forms a natural hub for cooking, casual dining and entertaining. From the kitchen, glazed doors lead into a vaulted-ceiling family dining space that overlooks the railway, filling the room with light and offering a dramatic, airy place to dine with family and friends.

On the first floor there are three generous double bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suite facilities, while the family bathroom offers a touch of luxury with a double shower, roll-top bath, basin, WC and heated towel rail. The combination of en-suites and a substantial family bathroom insures comfort and convenience for households of all sizes.

Outside, the property is set within a private, gated gravel and paved courtyard garden, bordered by converted barns that wrap around the outdoor space. These outbuildings provide versatile storage, useful garage or workshop space and include two self-contained one-bedroom units with private en-suites. The additional accommodation and outbuildings create excellent opportunities for a home business, rental income or truly flexible multi-generational living.

With generous parking to the front and a thoughtful layout that balances period charm with modern practicality, this property offers a rare and versatile family home that is both functional and full of character.
