Five-bedroom detached home on ~1 acre — countryside views and development potential.
Five bedrooms across multi-storey layout, master with private balcony
Set in the quiet hamlet of Five Roads, this 5-bedroom detached cottage sits within about an acre of mature grounds and combines period charm with contemporary upgrades. The ground floor includes a conservatory, modern kitchen with granite surfaces and integrated appliances, a large sitting room with log burner, a separate dining area and a useful utility and shower room. A versatile ground-floor bedroom/home office and an external garden room/study add flexibility.
Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms, the master enjoying a private balcony with countryside views, and a modern family bathroom. The property's size (approximately 1,368 sq ft) and generous plot offer scope for outdoor living, parking and potential extension or development subject to planning.
Practical points to note: the house dates from 1930–1949 and uses an anthracite-fuel boiler and radiators for heating; double glazing is present but install dates are unknown. EPC grade E and council tax is high. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal. The wider area is classed as very deprived, though crime is low and local classification suits rural workers and families.
This is a strong option for buyers seeking a substantial family home or rural retreat with character, generous outdoor space and room to adapt. It will particularly appeal to those valuing privacy and countryside views, but buyers should factor in energy efficiency, connectivity and any works a period property of this age may require.
