Set on a very large 0.37 acre plot at the end of a no-through lane, this five-bedroom detached house offers flexible living for an extended family. The property benefits from extensive gardens, a horseshoe driveway with ample parking and an integral double garage with a separate staircase to a large room above — ideal for ancillary accommodation, a hobby space or a home office.
Inside, the layout is practical and family-focused: entrance porch, spacious hallway, separate study, dual-aspect sitting room with an open (currently unused) fireplace and a triple-aspect conservatory. The kitchen/breakfast room with solid-fronted timber units and integrated appliances connects to a utility room. Four bedrooms sit off the main landing, while the master suite includes a sizeable ensuite; a further room above the garage has its own WC and under-eaves storage.
The gardens are a standout: paved patio with pergola, extensive lawns, a wildlife pond, orchard area, workshop and greenhouse with power. Oil-fired central heating (boiler upgraded 2017) and double glazing are in place, though the main fuel is oil rather than mains gas. Superfast broadband is available; mobile signal is average indoors.
Practical considerations: council tax is Band E (above average) and the title references covenants; outline planning approval (2018) exists for eight dwellings at the end of Upton Lane with reserved matters pending. The house was built c.1976–82 and has cavity walls with partial insulation assumed — further energy upgrades may be beneficial. Overall this is a roomy, adaptable family home in a quiet village setting with clear potential for home-working or ancillary use.
