Five bedrooms across two storeys, generous reception space
Set on a large plot in picturesque Essendon, this five-bedroom detached home blends generous living space with village tranquillity. The house offers expansive reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen, a double garage and driveway parking — a practical layout for families who need space to live, work and store. Its location close to good primary schools, country walks and nearby towns makes daily life convenient while retaining a rural feel.
The property is sold as seen and has been priced to reflect its condition. Key issues to note are very slow broadband, assumed solid-brick walls with no cavity insulation, and limited bathroom provision relative to five bedrooms. Buyers should expect modernisation and insulation upgrades, and potential costs associated with bringing services and finishes up to current standards.
Important purchase costs apply: a refundable administration fee of £1,000 on acceptance and a buyer’s premium of £3,500 or 3% (whichever is higher) plus VAT, payable on exchange of contracts. The house is freehold and offered with no onward chain, which could speed a move for a buyer prepared to take on refurbishment works.
This home suits a family seeking space and village living who are comfortable with renovation and clear about the additional purchaser fees. For those prioritising immediate turnkey condition or fast internet, this will likely need investment before it meets modern expectations.
