Half-acre plot with far-reaching countryside views
Four double bedrooms and three reception rooms, versatile layout
Garage, 30ft workshop and ample off-road parking

Oil-fired heating; likely limited wall insulation (built 1967–75)
Slow broadband despite excellent mobile signal
Scope to extend or add outbuildings (STPP)
Set within almost half an acre, this traditional four-bedroom semi offers generous family living and genuine scope to extend (STPP). Rooms flow well for everyday life and entertaining: a large lounge with wood burner, a bright conservatory, dining/snug and a country-style kitchen. Mature, landscaped gardens and uninterrupted countryside outlooks create a private outdoor environment rarely found so close to amenities.
Practical strengths include a detached garage, a substantial 30ft workshop, extensive off-road parking and excellent mobile signal. The plot and outbuildings present clear development potential subject to planning — appealing to buyers wanting extra living space or an ancillary building (STPP).
Buyers should note material points: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, and the property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s so wall insulation may be absent. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax sits above average. Accommodation provides one full bathroom plus a first-floor cloakroom, so adding a second bathroom could be a useful upgrade for family buyers.
Overall, this is a characterful, versatile country home for a family seeking room to grow and outdoor privacy. The combination of scale, outbuildings and clear extension potential make it suitable for owners wanting to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
