Introduction

The Old Coach House – A Characterful Conversion With Contemporary Style

Some homes stand out because of their design. Others because of their history. The Old Coach House brings those two qualities together, combining original architectural character with contemporary finishes, modern heating technology and flexible accommodation.

This distinctive detached conversion offers two double bedrooms upstairs, a generous living room, a fully fitted kitchen/diner and an additional double room on the ground floor that could work as a third bedroom, snug or home office.

The exterior brings together original brickwork and striking ivory render and black timber cladding, while a green roof adds another distinctive architectural feature. Inside, exposed original beams and vaulted bedroom ceilings provide character, complemented by modern fittings and a clean, contemporary layout.

There is also an enclosed, brick-walled rear garden, allocated parking with an EV charger and the benefit of no onward chain.

Better still, selected finishing choices may still be available for buyers purchasing before the end of November, giving you the opportunity to personalise elements such as flooring, colours and certain fixtures and fittings. The kitchen and bathroom are already installed, so the home is well advanced towards completion.

Entrance Hall

The entrance hall sets the tone for the contemporary feel of the property, with a front double-glazed door and ceiling spotlights.

The layout opens towards the kitchen/dining area, with doors leading to the remaining ground-floor accommodation and stairs rising to the first floor.

A side double-glazed window overlooks the garden, bringing natural light into the space, while a large understairs cupboard provides useful storage.

Wet Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, adding to the modern comfort of the home.

Lounge - 4.44m x 3.48m (14'7" x 11'5")

The living room is a generous, private space with a side-facing double-glazed window and a combination of wall lighting and a ceiling light.

Its proportions give you plenty of scope to create a comfortable lounge, whether your preference is for a large sofa arrangement, a more contemporary media space or a relaxed room for entertaining.

One of the exciting aspects of buying at this stage is the opportunity to choose selected finishing touches, including the flooring, where options remain available. This gives you a chance to introduce your own style rather than simply inheriting somebody else’s choices.

Kitchen/Diner - 5.46m x 3.71m (17'11" x 12'2")

The kitchen/diner is a real highlight, combining a fully fitted kitchen with a layout designed around modern everyday living.

There is a range of wall and base units, a one-bowl stainless-steel sink and drainer, electric hob and oven, cooker hood, integrated dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer.

Ceiling spotlights provide practical lighting, while a skylight set into the flat roof brings additional natural light down into the kitchen.

To the rear, bi-fold doors open directly onto the enclosed garden, creating a lovely connection between the inside and outside spaces.

Whether you’re preparing dinner, enjoying a relaxed breakfast or entertaining friends, this is a sociable room that makes the most of the property’s contemporary layout.

With selected flooring choices potentially still available, buyers may also have the opportunity to put their own stamp on the finished look.

Cloakroom

The ground floor benefits from a separate cloakroom, fitted with a WC and wash hand basin.

There are tiled splashback areas and an extractor fan, providing a practical facility for everyday use and visiting guests.

Bedroom / Office / Snug - 3.38m x 2.24m (11'1" x 7'4")

This is one of the most important rooms in the property because it gives the house a level of flexibility that many two-bedroom homes simply don’t offer.

The room could become a third double bedroom, making the property particularly interesting for a smaller family or buyers who may need downstairs accommodation for a relative.

Alternatively, it could be transformed into a snug, a second sitting room, a dedicated home office or a hobby room.

A front double-glazed window provides natural light, while ceiling spotlights and a large storage cupboard add to the practicality of the space.

The room has also been digitally visualised in different styles, including as a furnished bedroom and as a welcoming snug, helping prospective buyers imagine how it could work for them.

For anyone looking for a home that can adapt as circumstances change, this additional room is a real asset.

Landing

The staircase rises to the first-floor landing, which has a side double-glazed window, radiator and ceiling spotlights.

Doors lead to the two bedrooms and family bathroom.

Bedroom - 3.48m x 3.17m (11'5" x 10'5")

The larger of the two upstairs bedrooms is a particularly characterful space, with both front and side double-glazed windows overlooking the green roof.

A radiator provides warmth, while the vaulted ceiling with exposed original beams gives the room a wonderful sense of character and individuality.

This combination of architectural detail and natural light helps distinguish the property from a conventional modern home. There is plenty of scope to create a stylish principal bedroom that celebrates the original features while introducing your own furnishings and finishes.

Bedroom - 3.48m x 3.12m (11'5" x 10'3")

The second bedroom is another good-sized double, offering excellent flexibility for a couple, smaller family or anyone needing guest accommodation.

A side double-glazed window brings in natural light, while the vaulted ceiling and exposed original beams continue the character theme.

A radiator completes the room.

The two upstairs bedrooms are of similar proportions, giving buyers genuine choice over which room becomes the principal bedroom, guest room or alternative workspace.

Bathroom

The family bathroom is fitted with a shower cubicle, wash hand basin and vanity unit, together with a WC.

There is a side Velux-style window bringing natural light into the room, while a chrome towel rail and tiled splashback areas complete the finish.

The bathroom is already installed, making this another part of the home where the main fittings are in place as the conversion approaches completion.

Garden

The enclosed rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property.

Brick walls create a strong sense of enclosure and character, providing a private outdoor space that complements the architecture of the conversion.

There is a patio area for outdoor dining and seating, with the remainder predominantly laid to lawn and raised borders offering scope for planting and greenery.

The garden creates a natural extension of the kitchen/diner, particularly with the bi-fold doors opening directly outside.

To The Front

The property benefits from an allocated parking space on a block-paved driveway, complete with an EV charging point.

The exterior combines original brickwork with contemporary ivory and black timber-style cladding, giving the building a distinctive appearance that reflects the conversion’s blend of old and new.

A green roof incorporating moss and other natural growth adds another individual feature to the design.

Modern Heating & Practical Benefits

The property benefits from air-source heating, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

This contemporary approach to heating sits comfortably alongside the building’s retained character, offering buyers a home that combines original architectural details with modern building services.

The property will also come with a warranty, giving buyers additional reassurance. The specific warranty provider, cover and duration should be confirmed before publication.

An Opportunity To Make It Your Own

The Old Coach House is approaching build completion, with the kitchen and bathroom already installed and selected finishing choices potentially still available.

For buyers purchasing before the end of November, there may be an opportunity to choose certain wall colours, flooring and fixtures and fittings, subject to what remains available.

That means you could secure a distinctive detached conversion while still having a say in some of the details that make a house feel like home.

There is also a second property available on the same site: A slightly smaller, brand-new home with a different floor plan and a lower price point. It offers an alternative for buyers who like the development but are looking for a different layout or budget, with similar opportunities to choose selected finishes while options remain.

The Old Coach House

The Old Coach House is a home with its own identity: Original beams, a green roof, contemporary exterior detailing, a private brick-walled garden and modern heating technology.

Add the flexible ground-floor room, two double bedrooms upstairs, allocated parking with an EV charger and the opportunity to personalise selected finishes, and this is a compelling alternative to a standard new-build.

With no onward chain and a Turnkey Condition, it offers the chance to buy something distinctive, contemporary and full of character — while still having a little room to make it your own.
