Semi-rural living with flexible separate accommodation and woodland outlook.
Over 2,300 sq ft main house with additional 1,300 sq ft detached annexe
Set well back from a quiet no-through road and backing onto green-belt woodland, this substantial period home combines flexible family living with useful separate accommodation. The main house offers generous, well-presented rooms over three floors, modern comforts such as underfloor heating, double glazing and contemporary bathrooms, and many retained original features. A detached two-bedroom annexe with balcony provides independent living for relatives or potential income, while a large garden and paved patio suit families and entertaining.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, an integral double garage (with power and lighting) and useful utility and storage spaces. The plot is large and semi-rural, with a stream and an original stone footbridge that enhance the setting. Local schools (including a highly regarded secondary) and nearby village amenities make this a sensible choice for multi-generational households.
Be clear about the material issues: the property dates from the 19th century and exterior walls are stone with no known insulation, so further energy efficiency work may be needed. There is a medium flood risk in the area and local recorded crime is above average; buyers should satisfy themselves on insurance and mitigation. The garage and annexe offer scope for conversion or alternative uses, but any changes will require the necessary consents.
Overall, this home suits families who need space and flexibility—those seeking strong indoor/outdoor links, separate living for relatives or guests, and a semi-rural setting. The house is presented to a high standard in many areas, yet prospective buyers should budget for targeted upgrades to thermal performance and investigate flood and security protections.
