Carolans is a beautiful Grade II Listed detached home built from Blue Lias stone, set in the village of West Charlton. Originally three cottages, it was converted into one five bedroom family home before being listed in 1985. Lattice windows, exposed beams and fireplaces give the house character throughout. The gardens and adjoining paddock extend to approximately 0.8 acres in total, with lovely countryside views to the rear.
Accommodation
A spacious entrance lobby, with a decorative open fireplace and stairs to the first floor, leads to the kitchen/dining room and sitting room. The kitchen/dining room overlooks both the front and rear gardens and features freestanding antique wooden units and an inglenook housing a Rayburn oven with back boiler. An adjoining single storey utility room provides space for laundry appliances and fridge/freezers, useful storage, and access to both the driveway and rear garden.
The generous L-shaped sitting room has an open fireplace, a rear-facing window and patio doors opening onto the garden. It leads through to a cosy snug with a further inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, which also serves five radiators in part of the house. The snug has a front-facing window and a side door.
Upstairs are five good-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, positioned at opposite ends of the house.
The rear garden has a cottage feel, with a patio leading onto a broad lawn bordered by flowers, shrubs and fruit trees, as well as a pond. Two openings in the low stone wall connect the garden to the adjoining paddock of approximately 0.5 acres, offering space for a vegetable garden or smallholding use. To the front, a lavender-lined gravel driveway provides ample parking beside a lawn that wraps around the side of the house. Stone walls and trees form the boundaries.

Identity Verification
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
