Period character, generous rooms and extensive outbuildings for family life or projects.
Victorian detached home on approx. 1.63 acre plot
Set back down a private tree-lined drive, this substantial five-bedroom Victorian detached home sits on a plot of approximately 1.63 acres, offering significant outdoor space and versatile outbuildings including four garages, workshop and log store. The house retains many original period features—high ceilings, bay windows, picture rails, Minton tiles and large reception rooms—providing strong character and immediate kerb appeal.
Internally the layout suits a large family: two principal reception rooms, a generous kitchen-diner, utility, cloakroom and two en-suite bedrooms, with further bedrooms and shower/bathrooms across the first and second floors. Pine doors and skirtings, dual fuel log burners and built-in storage add practicality and charm, while large windows and French doors bring light and garden access.
The plot offers scope: established formal gardens, ponds, pergola and areas currently left to nature could be adapted, landscaped or partially developed subject to permissions. The extensive outbuildings and garaging increase practicality for hobbies, garaging or ancillary uses.
Practical points to note: the property has an EPC rating of D, broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. Some garden areas have been left to nature and will require management; buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance and consider modernisation where desired.
