A Period Home in an Exceptional Setting – Viewing Strictly by Appointment

Donnelly & Co are delighted to present this attractive three-bedroom semi-detached residence, occupying a discreet position along a private driveway off Larkfield Road and extending to approximately 1,200 square feet.

Dating from the early 1900s, the property enjoys a particularly enviable setting directly opposite Rawdon Cricket Club, with open views across the cricket fields and towards the surrounding countryside. Whilst conveniently placed for local amenities, schools and transport links, the setting feels notably peaceful and secluded, offering a lifestyle seldom found so close to everyday conveniences.

The property retains much of its original character, with most of the internal doors understood to be original, alongside generous room proportions, excellent ceiling heights and attractive period detailing. Having been carefully maintained over many years, it now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to enjoy the home as it is today or explore its future potentia

Reception Hall & Living Accommodation

A bright entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hall, where large windows provide attractive views across the gardens and allow natural light to flood the space.

Positioned off the hallway is a useful ground-floor shower room with WC, together with a practical storage cupboard.

The dual-aspect living room is a particularly impressive space, benefitting from windows to both elevations and a gas feature fireplace, whilst the excellent ceiling heights create a wonderful sense of volume throughout.

To the rear, the dining room enjoys pleasant garden views and centres around a charming brick-built fireplace. The room comfortably accommodates a large dining table and is well suited to both everyday family dining and entertaining.

Kitchen

The kitchen measures approximately 15ft 2 by 8ft 9 and provides ample storage and preparation space.

For purchasers seeking a more contemporary open-plan arrangement, there may be scope to combine the kitchen and dining room, subject to any necessary structural investigations and statutory consents. Equally, the current layout works exceptionally well for those who prefer separate reception and kitchen spaces.

First Floor

The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, a separate office and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom enjoys far-reaching views across the countryside beyond. Measuring approximately 11ft 10 by 11ft 4, the room benefits from a full range of fitted wardrobes and a particularly attractive outlook.

Bedroom Two is another generous double room, measuring approximately 12ft by 11ft 10, and features fitted wardrobes positioned to one side of the chimney breast.

Bedroom Three measures approximately 9ft 1 by 8ft 11 and benefits from an airing cupboard. Offering excellent flexibility, the room could be utilised as a child’s bedroom, guest room or additional home office.

The home office is a useful and peaceful room, enjoying far-reaching countryside views. While not large, it provides space, as photographed, for a desk and drawers, making it well suited to working from home. Alternatively, it could be used for storage, although the current owner has found it to be a quiet retreat away from the main household when needed, and it has functioned very well as a home office.

The first floor is completed by a family bathroom.

Loft Space

Accessed from the landing, the loft is boarded to the walkable areas and currently provides useful storage.

Subject to the necessary permissions and approvals, there may be scope for conversion, allowing a purchaser to further increase the accommodation should their requirements evolve over time.

Gardens & Grounds

The gardens are a particular feature of the property and reflect many years of careful cultivation and maintenance. Predominantly laid to lawn, they are complemented by mature borders, established shrubs, perennials and seasonal planting, providing colour and interest throughout the year.

The setting is both private and tranquil, with the gardens creating a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months.

An Indian sandstone terrace wraps around the property and provides several areas for seating and outdoor enjoyment. There may also be potential to extend the rear of the property, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.

Garage & Parking

The property currently benefits from off-street parking for two vehicles.

A tandem garage provides valuable storage and has historically accommodated two vehicles. Prospective purchasers should note that parts of the structure are understood to contain asbestos materials and should make their own enquiries in this regard.

There may also be potential to create additional parking through alteration or removal of the garage, subject to any necessary approvals.

Private Driveway

Approached via a private driveway serving a small number of properties, the house enjoys a sense of privacy rarely associated with such a convenient location.

The owners advise that maintenance responsibilities for the driveway are shared between the properties that benefit from its use, with the relevant obligations understood to be reflected within the respective title documentation.

Summary

Combining period character, mature gardens, excellent room proportions and a truly outstanding setting opposite Rawdon Cricket Club, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable charm and future potential in one of Rawdon’s most desirable locations.
