This exceptionally large detached family home offers 3,683 sqft of versatile living space with an annexe — ideal for multigenerational use or rental income. Set on a very large plot in a quiet hamlet-like setting, the property includes three reception rooms, a modern kitchen, double garage and generous parking for multiple vehicles. The private gated drive adds a sense of security, though it is shared and services two properties.
The principal bedroom features an en suite and there are four double bedrooms in total, giving space for growing families or home working. Practical features include mains gas central heating and fast broadband, while local schools have good Ofsted ratings. The EPC is currently D and the house was constructed between 1976–1982; some energy improvements and modernisation (insulation, glazing upgrades, wiring checks) may be beneficial to reduce running costs.
Buyers should note a medium flooding risk for the area and that a public notice has been issued (an offer of £870,000 has been received). The property is freehold and chain-free, offering a straightforward purchase route, but council tax is described as quite expensive and the gated drive is shared with a neighbouring property, which may affect privacy for some buyers.
Overall this is a substantial, flexible home in an affluent, low-crime area with strong local amenities and transport links. It will particularly suit families seeking space and potential for an income stream from the annexe, but budget for some energy and update work.
