Intro
Dolafon provides the opportunity to acquire a four bedroom home rich in history, combining unique charm with many original features alongside generously sized and versatile accommodation. Thought to originate from the 1850s, this characterful property showcases a wealth of period details, including bay windows, exposed timber beams, and cast iron fireplaces.

Ground Floor
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway with high ceilings and original flooring, where a staircase leads to the first floor. The front reception room is a warm and inviting space, enhanced by a striking bay window and a feature fireplace. Moving through the hallway, the second reception room provides a cosy setting with another fireplace and original wall panelling.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the farmhouse-style kitchen diner, fitted with quality cabinetry. A superb central island offers additional storage and worktop space, while the AGA, set into a brick alcove, adds character. The kitchen also benefits from a generous and practical walk-in pantry. The adjoining dining area is a perfect space for entertaining, featuring patio doors that lead to the front of the property. These doors have been cleverly incorporated into what is believed to be a former train entrance, adding a fascinating historical element.

From the kitchen, a bright and airy sunroom opens onto the enclosed side garden, creating a peaceful and private spot to enjoy a morning coffee or alfresco dining. A useful utility room provides space for laundry appliances, alongside a WC.
