Set well back from Ashford Road on a plot of approximately two-thirds of an acre, this Tudor-style five-bedroom detached house delivers generous family living with far-reaching farmland views. The home combines original period details with contemporary updates — a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with bi-fold doors to a south-facing patio provides a bright, sociable heart for everyday life and entertaining. A fully insulated garden room and a studio above the brick garage add flexible space for working from home or hobbies.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and suits a growing or multi-generation household: four double bedrooms on the first floor (two with en-suites), a top-floor fifth bedroom with en-suite and rural outlook, plus study and multiple reception rooms. Practical features include a utility room, downstairs cloakroom and ample off-street parking via a long private driveway with automatic gates. EPC: D; main heating via mains gas boiler and radiators.
The plot is a key asset — large, private and south-facing, backing directly onto undulating farmland to create a strong countryside feel while remaining within easy reach of village amenities, good local schools and mainline transport links. There had been planning permission for a two-storey side extension incorporating a ground-floor annexe, but that consent has now lapsed and would need reapplication if required.
Notes and considerations: the property was built between 1930–1949 and retains some original cavity-wall construction (assumed uninsulated), so further energy-efficiency improvements are possible. Council Tax Band G reflects the size and status of the home. Overall this is an attractive, flexible family home with substantial outdoor space and scope for extension subject to planning.
