3 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Street, Chiddingly BN8

A home full of character, and possibility. This beautifully renovated 1874 Victorian semi-detached property (approx 2800sqft including detached garage), thoughtfully extended, seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary living. This three-bedroom (including converted attic) residence with breathtaking countryside views to the front and back, is a rare find in the heart of the desirable village of Chiddingly – a coveted village setting renowned for its idyllic rural character. This refurbished property is turn-key, offered chain-free and ready to welcome new owners.

Through the shared porch and small lobby, you will be greeted by the elegant dining room, which flows through French doors into the spacious kitchen/breakfast room - the hub of the home and ideal for entertaining or family meals. It has been thoughtfully designed with a mix of sleek contemporary cabinetry with solid surface counter tops, built in double eye level ovens, an electric hob with extractor, a traditional oil-fired Aga and integrated space for dish washer and washing machine. There’s ample counter space and storage (including dedicated laundry, suitable for a condenser tumble dryer and cloak cupboards) to keep everything streamlined. A second entrance lobby, often used day-to-day, leads to the rear garden.

Adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room is a spacious sitting room bathed in natural light from dual-aspect views, featuring a grand exposed brick fireplace with substantial oak bressummer, and wood-burning stove. Freshly carpeted and decorated in neutral tones, this is the kind of room perfect for cosy evenings.

Upstairs, on the first floor a split landing has a window to the rear and stairs to the second floor. The main bedroom easily accommodates a super king-sized bed and overlooks peaceful field views to the front, with a generous shelved walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en-suite with twin basins, large walk-in shower, and excellent storage.

A second double bedroom which also enjoys countryside views to the front and a stylish family bathroom with deep soak bath and overhead shower complete this level.

On the top floor is a third bright, newly carpeted double bedroom with field views to the rear, dormer window and eaves storage, plus an adjoining converted attic room ready for use as a study, home office, snug or playroom. Subject to planning permission it would be easy to install a Velux window for conversion to a potential fourth bedroom.

A real bonus is the large detached brick-built double garage. It currently has an electric door, WC, wash basin, and staircase to a vaulted upstairs room with electric heaters. An existing oil-fired boiler supplies central heating to the house. In addition, the garage already has planning permission for conversion into a self-contained annex This space offers excellent potential — whether for multigenerational living or a guest suite.

Outdoor living is a delight here. The property is set behind brick pillars and a five-bar gate. The driveway provides off-road parking for up to five vehicles. An easy to maintain front lawn and a mature hedgerow frames countryside views. The rear garden is designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, with sandstone patios, flowering borders, water feature, and a level lawn - ideal for alfresco dining, barbecues, or simply soaking up the sun. The rear boundary is secured by chestnut post-and-rail fencing which is dog-proofed, ensuring four-legged friends can roam safely while you admire unbroken views of the fields beyond. There is also an external utility store equipped for a generator.
