Set on the edge of village farmland with far-reaching lake and field views, this four-bedroom detached house balances generous family living and strong running-cost savings. The ground floor offers two sizable reception rooms plus a sunroom that frames the countryside vistas, while a modern dining kitchen and ground-floor WC provide everyday practicality.
Three double bedrooms upstairs — including a main bedroom with en-suite — and a further fourth bedroom give flexible sleeping arrangements or space for a home office. The large double garage and parking for four to five cars suit families with multiple vehicles or hobby equipment. Landscaped gardens with several seating areas and a summerhouse extend the living space outdoors.
Owned solar panels and an electricity-optimised heating setup significantly lower ongoing energy bills and produce a feed-in tariff, a clear cost advantage. Note the property uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, broadband speeds in the area are slow, and council tax is above average; buyers should consider these factors for long-term running costs and connectivity.
Overall this is a spacious, modern-traditional family home in an affluent, low-crime village setting with excellent mobile signal and strong local schools, best suited to buyers who value views, outdoor space and lower energy bills over mains gas heating and high-speed broadband.
