Set in the peaceful village of Barningham, this versatile four-bedroom detached home offers comfortable family living with clear potential to improve or extend (stpp). The property sits on a decent plot with a private rear garden, patio, greenhouse and garage/workshop while a two-car driveway provides straightforward off-street parking. With no onward chain and a short walk to village schooling and amenities, it’s well placed for family life in an affluent rural area.
Inside, the layout is practical and traditionally styled: an entrance hall gives access to open-plan living between the kitchen and sitting area, plus two additional ground-floor rooms that can be used as reception spaces or bedrooms. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house benefits from double glazing and an enclosed, private garden ideal for children or pets.
Notable considerations are the property’s mid-20th century construction and existing oil-fired central heating — both indicate likely running and upgrade costs compared with mains gas alternatives. Broadband is average for the area, and the home will benefit from some modernisation to realise its full potential. Planning scope to extend (stpp) makes this a strong opportunity for buyers wanting to add value or adapt the layout.
Overall this is a practical, well-located family home offering immediate liveability and clear scope for improvement. Buyers seeking village tranquillity with good local schools, low crime and easy parking will find this an appealing proposition, particularly those able to undertake cosmetic updating or a sympathetic extension.
