Set in the rural hamlet of Little Bentley, this three-bedroom semi-detached home suits buyers wanting space, equestrian facilities and countryside views. The property sits on a generous plot with a detached stable, tack room, detached garage and paddock (circa 0.3 acres), providing immediate scope for small-scale horse keeping or outside hobbies.
Internally the house offers a farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, separate lounge, boot room and cloakroom downstairs, with three bedrooms and a single family bathroom upstairs. The layout and room sizes are comfortable for family life, but the finish is average and some updating will be needed to maximise value — an opportunity for buyers wanting to personalise a country home. There is scope to develop further subject to planning permission (STPP).
Practical details to note: heating is by oil boiler to radiators and the walls are original cavity construction with no added insulation assumed, so running costs and energy efficiency will be higher than modern standards. The property has double glazing (unknown install date) and fast broadband, but mobile signal is average. The local area is rural with low crime, though local socio-economic indicators show higher deprivation in parts of the wider district.
This home will appeal to families and countryside buyers who prioritise outdoor space and equestrian use over a fully modernised finish. Guide price: £450,000–£475,000.
