The Property
Set back from the road behind mature planting and generous gravelled parking, 12 Tollgate Road is a handsome family house with brick and timber elevations and both integral and detached double garaging, all set within a private, well screened plot. Inside, the well balanced layout prioritises light, flow and easy everyday living.

The front door opens into a generous reception hall that immediately sets the tone. Original timber floorboards run underfoot, the staircase rising neatly to one side with painted balustrades and warm wood treads. Light spills in through the glazed entrance, giving the space a bright, welcoming feel, part hallway, part informal family hub rather than simply a point of entry.

The main sitting room lies just off the hall, a wide, dual aspect space with large windows overlooking the garden and a handsome cast iron fireplace forming a focal point. Soft, muted tones and original timber flooring lend warmth and character, creating a room equally suited to relaxed evenings or entertaining guests.

A second reception room, currently arranged as a snug, enjoys a wide window overlooking the garden and the same warm timber flooring, creating a bright and comfortable space that works equally well as a study, playroom or quieter sitting room.

To the rear, the layout opens into an impressive kitchen and family dining space designed very much for modern living. The kitchen is fitted with classic painted cabinetry, dark worktops and tiled splashbacks, centred around a solid timber island that doubles as an informal breakfast bar. A range style cooker, integrated appliances and generous storage ensure it functions as well as it looks, while a wide window frames views across the garden.

From here, the house flows into the extended garden and family room, where a vaulted ceiling with roof lights and expansive glazing draws natural light deep into the space. A wood burning stove forms a welcoming focal point, while folding doors open directly onto the terrace. With ample room for both dining and lounging, it is an easy, sociable space that connects seamlessly with the garden.

A boot room and utility area sit discreetly off the kitchen, with external access, ideal for muddy boots, coats and dogs after countryside walks, together with internal entry to the integral garage. Currently arranged as a home office and gym, this additional space offers excellent versatility while keeping the main living areas calm and uncluttered. Architectural plans were previously prepared to extend above the garage and to convert the substantial loft, highlighting the property’s clear potential for further enlargement, subject to the necessary consents.

Upstairs, the sense of proportion continues. The principal bedroom is especially spacious and light, enjoying dual aspect windows, room for a seating or dressing area, and an entire wall of fitted wardrobes, creating a calm, well organised retreat. Three further bedrooms provide comfortable and versatile accommodation for family or guests.

The family bathroom has been thoughtfully finished with a balance of traditional and contemporary detailing, featuring a built in bath and a generous walk in double rainfall shower, complemented by clean tiling and warm timber flooring to create a space that feels both practical and quietly indulgent.

Externally
The gardens wrap around the house, creating a private and well screened setting with a mix of lawn, mature shrubs and established planting. A raised decked terrace sits directly off the garden room, ideal for outdoor dining, stepping down to a broad lawn bordered by trees and colourful borders.

To the front, generous gravelled parking provides ample space for multiple vehicles and access to the detached timber double garage.

The overall setting feels green, sheltered and tucked away, yet remains well connected for everyday convenience.
