Set within approximately seven acres of private grounds, this substantial four-bedroom detached home offers a rare countryside lifestyle on the edge of a sought-after hamlet. The house’s 1970s character, generous reception rooms and extensive outdoor space suit families seeking room to spread out — with a private paddock, enclosed football pitch and woodland creating safe, versatile outdoor living for children, pets or equestrian pursuits. The property is offered chain free and already has planning consent to significantly extend, presenting immediate scope to create a larger bespoke family residence.
Internally the layout is flexible and practical for modern family life. The principal suite benefits from two en-suites and a wraparound balcony with wide views, while a large living room with exposed brick fireplace, open-plan kitchen/diner with pantry and a useful snug deliver comfortable, everyday spaces. The lower ground floor provides an integral double garage, boiler room, storage and hobby space; additional outbuildings include a timber garage and garden shed. Practical services include an oil-fired boiler and recently replaced boiler, air conditioning, a diesel generator for backup power and a ground-fed well pumping system.
Buyers should note a number of material points: the house shows dated fittings and will benefit from modernization to realise its full potential, glazing dates from before 2002 and walls have only partial insulation. Broadband speeds are very slow and the main fuel is oil (non-community), which may influence running costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Taken together with the planning permission to extend, this property is best suited to buyers seeking substantial grounds, privacy and the opportunity to refurbish or enlarge into a long-term family home.
