Tucked down a quiet lane in Aubourn, this substantial detached character home offers flexible family living across generous rooms and a very large landscaped plot. Period features such as exposed beams and a brick fireplace give the living areas strong cottage character, while large windows bring light and views of the gardens. The property has four main bedrooms with a fifth room suitable as a study or guest room, plus a family bathroom and separate shower room.
A detached historic outbuilding — the former village forge — sits within the grounds and provides clear potential for a home office, annexe or holiday let, subject to gaining any necessary planning permissions. Off-street parking and mature grounds create privacy and room for children, pets and outside entertaining. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but the install date is unknown.
Practical points to note: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so buyers should consider thermal upgrading work. Broadband speeds are slow locally and mobile signal is average — important for home working plans. The property is freehold, in a very affluent, low-crime area close to village amenities and well-regarded primary schooling.
This is a rare village opportunity for a family seeking character, space and garden privacy, or for buyers looking to add value through sympathetic energy and media upgrades. Viewing will best convey the size of rooms, outdoor space and conversion possibilities offered by the forge outbuilding.
