Set within the exclusive Ridges area, this four-bedroom detached cottage occupies a substantial plot with almost five acres of private woodland. The house offers flexible family living with four reception rooms plus a conservatory, a sizeable kitchen with island and wood burner, and two ensuite bedrooms upstairs. Off-street parking and a double car port with an attached workshop add practical convenience.
The property retains period character — gabled dormers, parquet hallway, stained-glass detailing — yet it presents a clear opportunity to modernise. The home has secondary glazing, mains gas central heating, and fast broadband, but the EPC is currently rated D. Internally there is scope to reconfigure or refurbish areas to suit contemporary family life.
Outdoors the wrap-around lawns lead to protected woodland covered by tree preservation orders within a conservation area, offering exceptional privacy and countryside views. There is ample driveway parking, and the extensive plot is a major long-term asset. Mobile signal is reported as limited locally; the current owner uses a 4G hub.
Important factual points: the house dates from the early 20th century and will benefit from updating in places; council tax is described as quite expensive. This home will appeal to families seeking space, privacy and character in a prestigious village location, or to buyers wanting a property with renovation potential and substantial grounds.
