Ghyllfield is a spacious, characterful Victorian family home set in just under an acre (0.83) of private, south-facing gardens. The house combines high ceilings, original woodwork and open fireplaces with practical family spaces: a large living kitchen, separate reception rooms, utility and a conservatory that enjoys evening sun. The main bedroom benefits from a dressing room and cloakroom; three further double bedrooms share a single house bathroom.
Outside, the plot and outbuildings are major assets. Extensive level lawns, a pond, orchard and gated gardens provide safe, enclosed space for children and pets. Substantial outbuildings include an extra-length double garage, workshop, garden/machinery store and additional detached store — flexible for hobbies, storage or potential ancillary accommodation subject to planning consent.
Practical positives include a 2021 gas boiler, mains gas heating with radiators, double glazing and 12 solar panels. Notable drawbacks are factual: broadband speeds are very slow (typical 15/1 Mbps), there is only one main house bathroom for four double bedrooms, external stone walls are uninsulated (assumed) and tenure details are not provided. Buyers requiring strong internet for home working should check connectivity first.
Overall, this is an attractive family residence for those who value space, period character and outdoor amenity. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a rural lifestyle with generous parking for caravans/campers and scope to adapt outbuildings — while accepting some energy upgrade and connectivity work may be desirable.
