Tucked away behind wrought iron gates and approached by a private driveway, this exceptional detached stone-built Victorian coach house offers an irresistible blend of period charm and modern comfort. Once serving as a grand coach house, the property has been thoughtfully converted to create a warm and welcoming family home that retains many of its original architectural features.

The block-paved driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, while mature, well-stocked gardens frame the front of the home, creating a natural screen from neighbouring properties. A pathway winds through these tranquil gardens to the imposing solid wood entrance door, crafted from one of the original arched coach openings, setting the tone for the unique residence within. Upon entering, you are greeted by a generous reception hall complete with fitted storage, which flows seamlessly into a substantial sitting room.

The impressive dining room continues the theme of grandeur, featuring another of the original arched openings now transformed into a beautiful leaded glass window. This elegant space is ideal for entertaining on a large scale or hosting intimate family gatherings. Adjacent to the dining room are two versatile rooms: a practical utility area and a larger room currently used as a workshop, which could easily be reimagined as a home office, creative studio, or playroom. The bright, spacious kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Abundant wall and base units offer extensive storage, while the breakfast area enjoys a delightful outlook and opens through French doors to a Mediterranean-style garden. This charming outdoor haven features a large, decked dining terrace leading down to a lawn bordered by mature planting. With a sunny southerly aspect and sweeping views over the English Channel, it’s a perfect setting for alfresco dining and relaxation.

Combining historic character with modern practicality, this remarkable home is an exceptionally rare find.
