The ground floor offers strong family living: a large living room with an inglenook and cast-iron log burner, a sizable kitchen/diner with bay window, a separate family room/office and a ground-floor double bedroom with shower room. Double garage, ample driveway parking and gated side access add practical everyday convenience.
Upstairs there are three further double bedrooms, an ensuite to the principal room and a family bathroom. At approximately 2,327 sq ft the house feels large throughout and offers clear scope to extend (subject to planning) to increase living space or add value. The plot and position next to open countryside are consistent attractions for families seeking outdoor space and village life.
The house is solid and ready to be modernised to current tastes and efficiencies. Note the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC rating of D, and sits in council tax band F — important cost and upgrade considerations for purchasers. Construction dates place the build in the 1980s, so some systems and finishes may benefit from updating.
Overall this is a roomy family home in a quiet, prosperous village setting with genuine extension potential and strong indoor/outdoor flow. It will suit buyers who want a substantial plot, countryside outlook and the opportunity to improve or expand the accommodation to suit a growing family.
