Set well back from the lane with uninterrupted countryside views, this spacious four-bedroom detached house sits on a very large, mainly front-facing plot in the desirable village of Austrey. The layout suits family life: a generous lounge with wood-burning stove, a bright garden room with underfloor heating, a sizeable breakfast kitchen and a ground-floor bedroom with adjacent shower room. Off-street parking is plentiful thanks to a large gated driveway and a double carport with power and light.
Practicalities are clear: the property uses oil-fired central heating and connects to mains services except for gas and mains drainage, relying on a septic tank. Double glazing is fitted, though the installation date is not specified. The house was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and presents solid accommodation of around 2,014 sq ft but will suit buyers who may want to update finishes to their taste rather than expect a contemporary refurbishment.
Outside is a major selling point — an expansive, fully fenced main garden, a smaller fenced lawn with raised beds, a stoned patio and a useful timber shed with power. There is also a separate storage shed and the option (subject to separate negotiation) to buy a nearby 3.25-acre plot across the road, which may interest buyers seeking additional land or development potential (check planning and legal status).
This home sits within a very affluent, low-crime village environment with good local primary and independent school options and fast broadband. Note the council tax banding is above average (Band E) and the septic tank and oil heating will require ongoing maintenance and periodic servicing.
