High Street, Kimpton

TRADITIONAL EDWARDIAN HOME WITH VERSATILE LIVING SPACE, SOUTH FACING GARDEN AND USEFUL LOFT ROOM
Situated in a prime position on the High Street in the sought-after village of Kimpton, this attractive Edwardian home combines traditional character with spacious and versatile accommodation arranged across three levels. Currently vacant and offered to the market with no onward chain, the property enjoys a beautifully landscaped south-facing rear garden and a flexible bedroom arrangement, with potential to reinstate a third bedroom and is 1380 sq feet.
The ground floor provides a generous selection of reception and living spaces. The bay-fronted living room is a particular highlight, with its large window allowing plenty of natural light to enter and a feature fireplace creating an attractive focal point. A separate family room provides further flexibility, making an ideal space for relaxing, entertaining or use as a study.
The dining room connects with the kitchen and breakfast area, creating a sociable arrangement suited to both everyday family meals and entertaining. The kitchen provides a practical setting for cooking, with the breakfast area offering space for more informal dining. A separate utility room provides useful space for laundry and household appliances, while a ground floor WC completes the accommodation on this level.
The first floor currently provides two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The family bathroom has recently been replaced, providing a fresh and modern finish. The property was originally arranged as three bedrooms, but a partition wall has since been removed to create the present layout. The vendor advises that the wall could easily be reinstated to restore the third bedroom, providing further flexibility for families or those requiring additional sleeping accommodation.
A particularly useful feature is the separate staircase leading to the usable loft room, providing valuable additional space that could serve as a home office, hobby room, study or occasional guest space.
The property has also undergone a number of recent improvements to its heating and electrical systems, including a brand new hot water cylinder, replacement shower pump and new electrical consumer unit. An electrical compliance certificate is available, confirming that the electrical installation has been checked and is in good order.
Outside, the property enjoys a beautifully landscaped south-facing rear garden, creating an attractive and private setting for outdoor dining, relaxing and gardening. The southerly aspect allows the garden to enjoy sunlight throughout much of the day, making it an appealing space to enjoy during the warmer months.
