Set within an established farming landscape, this substantial four-bedroom detached house occupies approximately 4.15 acres of mature, secluded grounds with open rural views. The footprint is modest compared with the plot, offering clear scope to extend the house (STPP) and a recent planning approval to convert an outbuilding into a self-contained two-bedroom annexe (UTT/23/3041/HHF).
The existing accommodation is spacious but dated: multiple reception rooms, a kitchen with basic fittings, two bathrooms, utility and workshop space, and an attached double garage. Heating is by oil-fired boiler to radiators and many windows are secondary glazed. The property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout and would particularly benefit from improvements to insulation and internal refurbishment.
Outside, formal lawns, an orchard and mature tree belts provide privacy and amenity. There is ample off-street parking via a five-bar gate and driveway. Note the detached workshop shows signs of structural movement and the greenhouse is dilapidated — repairs or rebuilding will be necessary.
This home suits a buyer seeking a countryside renovation project with significant development potential and no upward chain. Drawbacks to factor into any offer include renovation costs, oil heating, assumed lack of wall insulation (timber-frame), and an expensive council tax band.
