About 0.4 acre landscaped garden with fine countryside views
Set at the top of a private lane on the edge of the village, Oakdene is a characterful detached cottage with an exceptional, very large garden backing onto farmland. The house offers comfortable, well‑laid accommodation across multiple levels with three reception rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms — ideal for someone seeking a peaceful country home with scope to personalise.
The grounds are a major asset: about 0.4 acre of landscaped terraces, ornamental pond, greenhouse, bothy/summerhouse and sheltered seating areas with fine rural views. A former garage currently used as a games room/studio provides flexible space for a home office, hobby room or potential annexe (note: previous garage conversion and added bathroom were carried out without planning/building regulation approvals).
Practical points to note: heating is by an oil‑fired boiler and radiators; walls are cavity but assumed to have no insulation; the EPC is rated E and council tax is in Band G (quite expensive). Broadband speeds can reach up to 1,000 Mbps, mobile signal is average, and the property lies in an area of very low crime and very low flood risk.
This home will suit buyers wanting a tranquil, rural lifestyle with substantial outdoor space — downsizers seeking single‑level living with occasional guest space, or families wanting countryside setting close to village amenities. It will also suit buyers prepared to carry out modest energy upgrades, confirm planning/consents for any change of use, and accept higher running costs associated with oil heating and council tax.
