Set on a very large, elevated plot in quietly tucked-away Slack Head, this 1966 detached house offers bright, spacious family accommodation and far-reaching southerly views. The layout suits multigenerational living: a ground-floor double bedroom and shower room allow single-level living or flexible guest accommodation, while four double bedrooms upstairs and generous reception rooms provide space to spread out.
The house has been attractively presented and upgraded in parts, with a contemporary breakfast kitchen, utility, Rako smart lighting in principal rooms, and an EV charging point. Extensive, mature gardens, multiple parking areas, and an integral garage are major practical assets; a paved seating area with pergola and pizza oven is a particular outdoor highlight.
Practical considerations include a shared obligation to maintain part of the lower drive, drainage to a shared septic tank, slow broadband speeds, and a council tax level described as quite expensive. Planning permission for a substantial first-floor extension was granted in 2021 but expired in October 2024; a buyer could seek renewal if additional accommodation or a balcony was desired. Tenure is not specified in the information supplied.
