MOST INTERESTING DETACHED VILLAGE HOME IN A POPULAR VILLAGE WITH SEPARATE DETACHED ANNEXE/OFFICE AND HEATED OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL
The Old Dairy is an individual detached property dating from the 1920s, offering approximately 2,225 sq ft of characterful and versatile accommodation. The property has an interesting history, having previously served as both the village dairy and local post office, and today provides a comfortable family home with flexible living space.
A particular feature is the detached former electrical substation, providing a further 723 sq ft of accommodation and offering excellent potential as an annexe, home office or studio, subject to any necessary consents. Together with the main house, this makes The Old Dairy particularly well suited to multi-generational living or those looking to work from home.
The property is entered through a porch into a useful reception area, currently used as a breakfast room. An inner hallway leads down to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of base and eye-level cabinetry and appliances. The principal reception rooms include a sitting room with feature fireplace and double doors opening onto the rear garden, together with a separate dining room. Leading from the dining room is the former village post office, now used as a study and providing an interesting reminder of the property's history. Further ground-floor accommodation includes a family room with stairs rising to an office and access through to a bedroom with double doors opening onto the rear garden. This area offers considerable flexibility and could work particularly well for guests or extended family. A useful utility room and bathroom complete the ground floor.
On the first floor, the spacious landing provides access to four bedrooms. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has a range of fitted wardrobes, with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Standing separately within the grounds is the former electrical substation. Extending to approximately 723 sq ft, it provides a generous open-plan area with kitchenette and shower room, with stairs rising to a first-floor mezzanine. This useful additional building offers a variety of possibilities, including a home office, studio, guest accommodation or annexe, subject to the necessary consents.
