Set well back at the end of a 350-yard private drive, this 1936 weather-boarded country house sits in just under five acres of southerly-facing grounds and paddocks, offering exceptional privacy and long rural views. The home’s generous 3,958 sq ft layout includes a triple-aspect drawing room, large open-plan bespoke kitchen/dining room with granite surfaces and an Aga, a principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite, plus five further bedrooms — flexible space for family living or a multi-generational household.
Outdoor amenities are strong: an all-weather tennis court, oak-framed triple car barn with power and an electric vehicle charging point, a workshop/home office and well-stocked gardens framed by mature trees. The plot’s size and layout create straightforward potential for a self-contained annex or for equestrian/amenity uses, subject to consents.
There are practical considerations to note. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators and the house uses private drainage; the property has an EPC rating of D. Construction details indicate timber framing “as built” with no confirmed insulation, which may mean further thermal upgrading is worthwhile. Council Tax sits at Band G, reflecting significant annual running costs.
For families seeking countryside life within reach of amenities, the house is close to well-rated primary schools and local sports/leisure facilities including tennis. This is a quietly luxurious, characterful family home with substantial land — ideal for buyers wanting privacy, outdoor space and scope to adapt the accommodation.
