Set within almost five acres of private, gated grounds, this substantial Victorian detached house offers generous family living across three floors. The home preserves period character—high ceilings, red-brick chimneys and traditional proportions—combined with a handmade bespoke kitchen, orangery and five distinct reception rooms for flexible living and entertaining.
Accommodation includes a principal bedroom suite with dressing room, seven further bedrooms and four en-suite facilities, plus two family bathrooms. Detached garages and wide driveways provide parking and storage for multiple vehicles. The village location offers rural tranquillity while benefiting from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—practical for modern family life or home offices.
Buyers should note material running and improvement costs: the property has an EPC rating of F, is oil-heated via boiler and radiators, and external walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the scale of the house and grounds will require ongoing maintenance and upkeep. Chain free sale and freehold tenure simplify purchase logistics.
This home will suit a large family seeking character, space and seclusion, or buyers wanting a versatile country property with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes. Its size, plot and room count present strong potential for multi-generational living, home-working wings or leisure uses (subject to planning).
