Kingsley House, a well presented and truly exceptional detached Victorian residence, occupies a prominent corner position, set within the heart of Kingsley village Conservation area.

Whilst enjoying an amazing amount of privacy this delightful home is ideally positioned to take full advantage of village community living, being within close walking distance to shopping facilities, primary school, the village hall and Church. Kingsley House is likely to appeal as much to a couple moving from a larger family house, seeking space, low maintenance and convenience, as it will to professionals or persons working from home.

Built around 1872 the house was formerly the local Headmaster's residence and had until 1994 remained in the ownership of one family for many years. More recently Kingsley House has been sensitively restored, to a particularly high standard, retaining its considerable character and complementing its original features. High moulded ceilings, deep skirting boards, period doors and fireplaces, window shutters and sash windows, are all in keeping with its classic style. Gas fired central heating is installed.

The generously dimensioned double fronted accommodation briefly comprises: Delightful entrance hall with Minton tiled floor; sitting room to the left and dining room to the right; morning room/snug and fitted kitchen, to the rear, which both open out onto a walled courtyard garden. There are three first floor double bedrooms, a nursery or study and a sizeable bathroom/wc measuring over 13ft by 9ft. Both a utility room and a garden room have access from the courtyard together with fuel and bike stores. The garden room, with tiled floor and multi-fuel stove, would double as an excellent hobbies room or workshop.

The walled courtyard garden has been planned for maximum enjoyment with minimal maintenance. Raised brick flower borders and an ornamental garden pond provides an array of colour throughout the changing seasons. There is a gated vehicular access from The Cross, to the side of Kingsley House, and a well stocked side garden.

Early access is available to potential purchasers who are able to legally complete fairly quickly.
SELLERS COMMENTS:
We were drawn to Kingsley House for its unspoilt immense character and unquestionable appeal.

Although the structure was pretty sound, we have tremendously enjoyed the restoration work. Very few parts of the house have remained untouched with walls having been replastered and electrics updated.

We took advantage of part of the outbuildings to convert and form a decent utility room and a really useful garden room. French windows from the kitchen, the snug and the garden room, all now open out into the walled courtyard garden, which is especially pleasurable during spring and summer evenings.

The walling screens the courtyard for both privacy and warmth, which increases its use appreciably for entertaining friends and family, or, for just enjoying a glass of wine after a busy working day.

Everything about the house is now low maintenance and particularly appealing if you like spending time away and wish to avoid a build up of chores when you return. For a working or retired family, Kingsley House is genuinely an ideal home.
