Set on approximately 0.24 acres in a quiet hamlet, this modern four-bedroom detached house balances practical family living with rural charm. The ground floor’s two bedrooms — one with en-suite — suit multigenerational households or ground-floor living, while two flexible first-floor rooms adapt as bedrooms, home offices or hobby spaces. The kitchen/diner and separate utility support everyday family routines and entertaining.
Outside, an approx. 180ft well-kept rear garden provides substantial private outdoor space for children, pets and alfresco entertaining. Off-street parking and a separate garage add storage and convenience. The property sits around 0.4 miles from the village centre, with local shops, pubs, good primary and secondary schools nearby.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband and no flood risk. The house is average in overall floor area (about 1,300 sq ft) and was built mid-20th century, so buyers should expect conventional construction and typical maintenance rather than new-build finishes.
Notable drawbacks are an expensive council tax band and the property’s average internal size relative to the plot — buyers wanting very large internal living areas may find it modest. The location offers tranquillity but is in a hamlet setting; regular commuting will require a car despite nearby bus links.
