Set in a secluded 0.73-acre south‑west facing plot, this substantial 3,554 sq ft detached house offers generous family living and clear scope to personalise. The property combines period Tudor Revival character with modern upgrades: double glazing, newly plastered areas, Oak flooring, refitted bathroom and a wood burner in the sitting room. The vaulted principal suite with dressing area, en‑suite and roof terrace is a strong sell for buyers seeking space and privacy.
Practical features include a large driveway with ample parking, a 28'1 x 15'7 double garage with power and storage, utility room access and excellent broadband and mobile signal. Planning permission (DC/24/1791) has been granted for a kitchen extension with roof terrace, providing immediate potential to create a larger open-plan kitchen/dining/family hub.
There are important running-cost and retrofit considerations: the property uses oil-fired central heating and cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, which contributes to its current EPC rating of D. Built in 1958, the house has been greatly improved but will still appeal to buyers prepared to undertake further energy-efficiency upgrades and continuing maintenance to maximise long-term value.
This home sits in a very affluent, low-crime area close to good schools, transport links and countryside walks—well suited to an established family wanting space, privacy and scope to modernise.
