Set on a very large plot in the desirable village of Wickham Bishops, this substantial four-bedroom detached home delivers flexible family living across a split-level layout. The heart of the house is the double-height vaulted sitting room with exposed timber trusses and a mezzanine/minstrel’s gallery — a dramatic space ideal for family cinema nights and relaxed entertaining. A bright sunroom and multiple reception rooms (family room, dining room, study and snug) extend the living options and open directly onto mature, well-vegetated gardens.
The principal bedroom on the ground floor includes an en-suite, while two further first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom provide space for children or guests. Practical rooms include a kitchen with adjoining utility and a covered veranda for al fresco dining. Off-street parking and gated side access add everyday convenience; ultrafast broadband is available and the location benefits from low local crime and good village facilities.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of E, cavity walls are understood to have no added insulation, and the detached garage is scheduled for removal as part of an approved planning consent for a separate single-storey dwelling (Planning Ref 24/00545/FUL). These factors create potential uplift through sympathetic energy improvements and garden reconfiguration, but also mean buyers should factor in upcoming works, possible neighbour/build changes and higher council tax banding.
In short, this is a roomy, characterful family home with striking principal spaces and a very large plot that offers immediate comfortable living plus scope to modernise and optimise. It will suit buyers seeking generous indoor-outdoor family space in an affluent village setting, prepared to take on modest improvement and to consider the implications of the recently granted planning consent.
