Thyme Cottage is a beautiful three-bedroom house in the quiet village of West Overton that has just gone up for sale.

This stunning semi-detached home dates back to 1880 and still includes some of its original period features, such as a fireplace and exposed brickwork.

Families will adore the large extended light-filled kitchen/breakfast room, which includes modern appliances and smart solid oak surfaces. Cream cabinets help to create a warm, cosy feel while also providing a practical area for meals to be prepared.

Towards the end of the kitchen is a lovely sofa area, which leads out onto the well-kept garden. Open the sliding doors in the summer and invite friends over for a low-key evening dinner party.

With white whites and cushiony-soft carpet, the front sitting room is a place for you to relax completely. The built-in shelving units on either side of the fireplace help to provide extra storage, while the large windows draw in plenty of light. The home's current owners have modernised the property, but still kept many of its stunning original features.

One of our favourite spots in the home is the tucked-away library and study space. Here, the walls have been stripped back to their original red brick and white stone features. The ceilings are also boast a sense of character, with wooden beams stretching high above. Whether you work from home regularly or just want a quiet reading nook, this space is perfect.

Once outside, you'll quickly fall in love with the garden seating area. There's even a delightful annexe with a cosy sitting room, wood burner and ensuite double bedroom, perfect for guests visiting on a weekend.

Tempted to move in? This property is currently on the market for £500,000 via Carter Jonas.
