If you’ve been hunting for a home that’s a little different, this architect-designed gem could be just the one. Chy An Amor is full of character, offers flexible, well-proportioned living space, and sits in a lovely, popular village. What’s more, it’s available for the first time in almost thirty years—so opportunities like this don’t come along often!

Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming entrance hall that leads straight into a large dining hall and the main living areas. To the front, there’s a cosy living room complete with a wood-burning stove—perfect for curling up on chilly evenings. Out the back, a spacious kitchen-breakfast room awaits with a Rayburn, plenty of storage, and bespoke chestnut units made locally. There’s also a handy pantry, utility room, and cloakroom.

The ground floor is home to a master bedroom suite that’s more like a mini-retreat, with a dressing area, en-suite bathroom, and even a sauna—ideal for relaxing after a long day. Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a landing that doubles as a study/library with far-reaching views over open farmland. And if you like a little extra space, there’s a huge former snooker room—perfect as another bedroom, a games room, or whatever you fancy. A pull-down staircase even gives you access to the loft room for extra storage.

Outside, the house really shines. There’s a charming front garden with driveway parking and an attached garage, while the rear garden is a real entertainer’s dream—think swimming pool, sun deck, and barbecue area. If you work from home, you’re in luck: there’s a large workshop and a separate office/studio, so you’ll have plenty of space to focus or get creative.

Sure, a few parts of the house show their age, but that’s been factored into the price—and honestly, it only adds to the charm. This is a very special home that’s just waiting for the next lucky family to make it their own.
