Outdoor living is a strong selling point: private rear gardens feature hardwood decked entertaining areas, a Mediterranean-style seating spot, summer house and extensive lawn.
Practical strengths include a detached double garage, wide driveway parking for numerous vehicles, mains gas central heating to radiators and double glazing. The property dates from the 1980s (c.1983–1990) and appears well maintained, with good mobile signal, fast broadband and very low local crime — features that suit a busy family or someone working from home who values rural tranquility.
Buyers should note a few important factual points before viewing. Tenure is not stated and should be confirmed; the property’s glazing installation date is unknown and building construction is recorded as timber-frame (assumed insulated), so obtain surveyor advice if you have specific structural or thermal-performance concerns. The EPC is band C. Services, systems and appliances have not been independently tested and purchasers should arrange their own checks.
In short, this is a roomy family home in a prosperous countryside setting, with flexible living spaces and strong outdoor appeal. It will suit buyers seeking generous accommodation and plot space who are happy to verify tenure and carry out any desired updates or checks highlighted by a full survey.
