About this property

A substantial and characterful detached Victorian home set within grounds approaching an acre, offering beautifully proportioned accommodation, a flexible annexe arrangement, and a private position with easy access to surrounding National Trust countryside.

The Shieling is approached via a private driveway, set well back from the road and framed by established gardens, creating a strong sense of privacy. The house displays attractive period detailing, with elevations that reflect its Victorian origins and hint at the space and versatility within.
The front door opens into an entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms are accessed. The sitting room is a well‑balanced space, centred around a fireplace and enjoying a pleasant outlook across the garden, with doors opening directly onto the outside. Adjacent, is a formal dining room offering a perfect entertaining space, with period features adding character and charm.
To the rear, the kitchen is arranged with a number of fitted units and integrated appliances, with space for everyday use. An important feature of the house is its adaptable layout, with part of the ground floor capable of being used as a self‑contained annexe if required. This area can serve equally well as additional living accommodation, guest space, or for multi‑generational use, depending on individual needs. Upstairs there are five generous bedrooms over two floors, each offering good proportions and flexibility of use. The bedrooms are supported by two bathrooms, with a third bathroom situated on the ground floor in the annexe region allowing the house to function comfortably as a substantial family home.

Outside
The gardens form a key part of the property, extending to around an acre and providing a mature and established setting. Areas of lawn are interspersed with planting and trees, offering both open space and more sheltered corners, ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining. A covered pergola is the ideal spot for outdoor dining!
A detached garage is complemented by a workshop and additional storage, while the driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles.
