A rare Arts and Crafts semi-detached home set on a generous private plot, backing onto farmland. The house offers versatile living across three storeys with up to four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large mature garden — ideal for a growing family who value space and privacy.
Period detail is a strong selling point: exposed beams, an inglenook-style fireplace, leaded/dormer windows and parquet flooring give the house character and warmth. The well-proportioned reception rooms and conservatory flood the interior with light and provide flexible space for living, dining and home working.
Practical strengths include extensive driveway parking, a detached single garage, useful outbuilding and greenhouse, plus gated rear access. The plot is sheltered and tranquil, with pleasant views over rolling farmland and easy access to Cutacre Country Park and local primary schools.
Buyers should note this is an older property (built before 1900) that will benefit from updating: cavity walls appear uninsulated, double glazing installation date is unknown, and broadband speeds are very slow. There is an outside toilet and some maintenance/modernisation work may be needed to meet contemporary energy and connectivity expectations.
