A substantial detached family home arranged over two floors, offering flexible living for a growing household. The ground floor delivers generous open-plan kitchen/breakfast and sitting/dining areas, plus an expansive living room with sliding doors that open onto a private, well-kept rear garden – ideal for children and entertaining. The house sits on the edge of the village with pleasant field views to the front and excellent local amenities within easy reach.
Practical features include an integral garage with internal access and generous off-street parking. The accommodation benefits from quality fittings in places (island kitchen, underfloor heating in the living room, ensuite and family bathroom with underfloor heating), but the property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and will suit buyers happy to carry out selective updating. The oil-fired boiler provides heating; fuel type and partial cavity insulation are factors to note for running costs and future energy improvements.
There is clear scope to personalise or reconfigure the space – the integral garage offers conversion potential subject to planning, and the large footprint and garden permit landscaping or extensions (subject to permissions). Council tax is high for this banded property and ongoing oil heating costs should be factored into budgets.
Overall, this is a rare, roomy family house in a sought-after village location offering versatile rooms, strong indoor–outdoor flow, and attractive outlooks, best suited to families seeking space and prepared to invest in targeted modernisation.
