A substantial 5-bedroom 1930s detached home set within about 4 acres of orchard and pasture, offering rare semi-rural living on the edge of Winslow. The house was extended in 2003 and now provides four flexible reception rooms, a large south-facing garden room, a double garage and useful outbuildings — ideal for families, hobby farmers or those seeking space and privacy.
Practical features include UPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating to radiators, solar panels (installed 2011) with Feed-in Tariff income, and ample parking. The plot includes roughly 1 acre of garden and orchard plus just over 3 acres of paddock with historic ridge and furrow, making the land suitable for equestrian or amenity uses.
Important considerations are factual and material: the paddocks are being promoted for residential development and are subject to a 30% development overage on uplifted value for 40 years, which will affect any future planning receipts. The property uses a septic tank rather than mains drainage, and there is only one main family bathroom plus additional cloakroom/WC facilities, which may limit convenience for larger households.
Overall this is a characterful, roomy family home with considerable land and improvement potential. Buyers should note the development overage and drainage arrangement when assessing future plans or uses for the paddock land.
