Spacious four-bedroom detached home with large private rear garden
Sun room with woodland views and direct patio access
Ample off-street parking for several vehicles
Summer house, greenhouse and large workshop on plot
Oil-fired boiler for heating; off-grid fuel required
EPC Rating D; potential for energy-efficiency improvements
No mobile signal at property despite fast broadband
Built late 1970s–early 1980s; some modernisation possible
Set on a large, private plot in Ruardean Woodside, this spacious four-bedroom detached house offers bright, well-proportioned rooms and extensive garden space ideal for family life. The living room flows through double doors into a sun room that frames woodland views, while a separate dining room and kitchen provide practical everyday living and entertaining space. Outdoor features include generous off-road parking, a summer house, greenhouse and large workshop — appealing to gardeners and hobbyists.
The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and rear-facing forest views; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Practical aspects include an airing cupboard housing the oil boiler, double glazing (install date unknown), and generally neutral, well-maintained interiors. Broadband speeds are reported as fast, but there is no mobile signal on site.
Known considerations are: main heating runs on an oil boiler (off-grid fuel required), EPC rating D and council tax band C. The property was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while well-presented, offers scope for cosmetic updating or energy-efficiency improvements. Flood risk is low and the location sits within an affluent, low-crime village with good primary and excellent secondary schooling nearby.
This home will suit families seeking peaceful village living with strong outdoor appeal, those wanting space for hobbies or garaging, and buyers ready to invest in modest modernisation to improve efficiency and personalise the house.
