Set on approximately 1.51 acres on the edge of Curry Rivel, this substantial 1950s detached home offers classic country living and wide-ranging potential. The property has five bedrooms, three reception rooms and generous gardens bordered by mature hedging and paddocks — a strong match for families, smallholders or buyers who want space and privacy. Quiet lanes and far-reaching rural views add to the secluded, countryside feel.
The interior provides solid bones but requires renovation and modernisation throughout: the kitchen and bathrooms are dated and the house will benefit from an upgrade to meet contemporary standards. Heating is by oil-fired boiler with radiators; double glazing has been fitted but typical mid-century elements remain. Council Tax sits at a higher band, reflecting the size and location.
Beyond the house itself the grounds are the headline feature. Around 0.9 acres is garden and formal lawn; about 0.6 acres is fenced paddock suitable for grazing, hobby equestrian use or small livestock. Two discrete areas on the plot — the southern paddock edge and the north-east corner — have been identified as offering potential for development or ancillary accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. No formal planning enquiries have been made to date, so any development prospect is speculative.
Practical notes: broadband speeds are limited, mobile signal is average, and services are mains electric, water and drainage with oil heating in place. The house’s size, plot and location create real long-term upside for those prepared to invest time and money in renovation and any planning-led opportunities.
