<p>If you’re searching for something a little different, with character, space and a lifestyle that you simply won’t find on a modern development, this home in School Road, Upwell could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.</p><p>Set on a generous plot in this popular village, this individual character home combines cottage-style charm with surprisingly flexible accommodation, extensive gardens, generous parking and, perhaps most appealing of all, its own additional garden area with river frontage and a private landing stage directly across the road.</p><p>Step inside and the individuality of the property quickly becomes apparent.</p><p>The conservatory provides a lovely place to sit and enjoy views over the garden, with plenty of natural light from its uPVC windows and a practical tiled floor. From here, a door leads directly into the kitchen/diner.</p><p>Full of traditional cottage character, the kitchen/diner is fitted with pine base and wall units, complemented by worktops, a double-drainer sink and matching wall-mounted display unit. A feature beam adds to the character, while there is space for a dining table, making this a sociable everyday hub of the home. A sliding door leads into the lounge, with further doors providing access to the WC and the ground-floor bedroom accommodation.</p><p>The lounge is arguably where the character of the house really comes to life. Feature ceiling beams, exposed brickwork and an exposed brick fireplace combine to create a warm and welcoming living space, while windows to the front, side and rear allow natural light to enter from several directions. The staircase rises from here to the first floor.</p><p>One particularly useful feature of the property is the later ground-floor addition. Originally purpose-built for the former owner to provide the option of single-level living in later years, it incorporates a bedroom and wet room. This gives the house a level of flexibility that could appeal to a wide range of buyers. It can continue to serve its original purpose as ground-floor bedroom accommodation, but could equally become an additional sitting room, home office, hobby room or playroom depending upon your requirements. A separate WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.</p><p>Upstairs, the character continues. The landing has exposed floorboards and a Velux-style window providing natural light, with doors leading to the bedrooms.</p><p>Bedroom One features painted exposed brickwork to one wall, a dormer window to the front and fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms Two and Three continue the cosy cottage feel, both featuring sloping ceilings and rear-facing windows, with timber panelling adding further character to Bedroom Two. These two rooms are interconnected, offering further flexibility in how the first-floor accommodation is used.</p><p>And then there is the outside space...</p><p>The house occupies a generous established plot with substantial gardens extending to the side and rear. Mature trees, shrubs and planting accumulated over the years create a wonderfully established setting, with plenty of room for gardening, relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the space around you. A concrete patio immediately adjoining the conservatory provides a natural outdoor seating area, while a substantial driveway to the side offers generous off-road parking.</p><p>But what really helps set 51 School Road apart is what you'll find directly across the road.</p><p>Included with the property is a further area of garden extending to the river frontage, complete with its own landing stage. Whether you already own a boat, have always fancied one, enjoy fishing or simply love the idea of having your own spot beside the water, it is a feature that gives this home a lifestyle and personality all of its own.</p><p>This isn't a property trying to compete with a modern new-build. It offers something entirely different: character, quirky features, flexible accommodation, mature gardens, plenty of parking and your own piece of river frontage.</p><p>For buyers who value individuality over uniformity and want a home with a story, space and the opportunity to make it their own, 51 School Road deserves to be seen.</p><br/>EPC Rating: G
