Spacious period home with gated parking and countryside views, ideal for family living.
Detached five-bedroom family home with first-floor study and three bathrooms
Folly Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom detached house arranged over two floors, set on a large plot in a peaceful village lane that ends in a no-through road. The ground floor offers versatile living with four reception rooms — sitting room, garden room, dining room and reception hall — plus a kitchen/breakfast room and utility with direct access to the integral garage. A first-floor study and five bedrooms (one en suite) suit a family needing space to work, relax and entertain.
The property sits privately with a gated gravel driveway for four cars, an integral garage with power and lighting and enclosed gardens that back onto open countryside. There is no upper chain, fast broadband and low local crime, making it practical for a family moving quickly. The sunny raised terrace overlooks lawned gardens and uninterrupted rural views.
Buyers should note the house dates from before 1900 and has sandstone/limestone walls assumed without insulation, and the main heating is an oil-fired boiler and radiators. These fabric and fuel particulars mean buyers may wish to budget for insulation improvements and a future heating upgrade. There is a covered well beneath the front lawn that requires awareness during any groundworks.
Overall this is a characterful, spacious family home in an affluent, rural community. It offers immediate liveability with scope for energy-efficiency improvements, cosmetic updating, or modest refurbishment to increase comfort and long-term value.
