Description
Grafton offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful Grade II listed semi-detached home, offering flexible accommodation, impressive period features and a delightful south-facing garden.

Grafton is a home full of history and charm, thoughtfully adapted for modern living whilst retaining the unique character expected of a property of its age and stature. From the impressive inglenook fireplace to the former bakery that now serves as a generous kitchen and living space, this is a property that truly stands apart.

Upon entering the property, you are immediately welcomed by the warmth and character that flows throughout the home.
The heart of the house is the inviting sitting room, featuring a magnificent inglenook fireplace and window seat, creating a cosy and atmospheric focal point.

This unique space offers an excellent area for entertaining, dining and everyday living, with a door into the garden. Above the dining area is a large loft space offering further potential.

Adjoining the kitchen is an additional bathroom and downstairs loo, which provides flexibility for the space to be utilised as a guest bedroom, home office or studio, depending on individual requirements.

A conservatory connects the kitchen with the main house, flooding the space with natural light and creating a wonderful transition between the living accommodation and garden, as well as offering yet more potential.

The first floor provides a shower room and a second bedroom with wall on in-built storage. The second floor provides an impressive and well-proportioned bedroom with a dual aspect.

The property benefits from a carport with a thatched roof. To the rear of the property is a beautifully maintained landscaped garden, with an array of well-established planting and fruit trees. It features various spots in which to relax and unwind and also includes a useful shed and covered log store.
