Oakfield House is an impressive mid‑Victorian family home set in about 1.56 acres, including a paddock and field stable. The house retains authentic period features — sash windows, high ceilings, decorative cornicing and open fireplaces — and offers generous, well‑proportioned living space with four reception rooms, a garden room and a breakfast kitchen that faces the morning sun. Spacious principal bedroom benefits from an en‑suite; four further bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate shower room complete the bedroom accommodation.
Externally the plot is a major asset: formal gardens, mature planting, a paddock just under an acre, a detached double garage and a two‑storey outbuilding currently used as workshop and home office. The outbuilding could suit various uses subject to planning or conversion consents, and there is separate driveway access from Church Road. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, helpful for remote working.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. The house is of solid brick construction and likely lacks wall insulation; glazing is secondary. The property will therefore benefit from energy‑efficiency upgrades and some modernisation to reduce running costs. Council tax is very expensive. There is no flooding risk.
This home suits a family seeking character, space and countryside living, or someone wanting a period property with scope to update and personalise. The paddock and outbuilding add versatility for equestrian, hobby or home‑business uses.
