4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family living with dramatic open views and large private plot.
4 double bedrooms with en‑suites to principal and guest suites
Set within a peaceful hamlet near Heighington, this individually designed four-bedroom home combines generous family living with expansive countryside views. The house offers an open-plan kitchen/dining/living space with bifold doors onto landscaped gardens, plus a mezzanine family room that overlooks the fields — ideal for flexible family use or entertaining. The double garage and sweeping driveway provide excellent off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
Built with a stone façade and contemporary fittings, the property includes high-spec environmental features: solar panels, an EV charger, triple glazing and mechanical ventilation. The principal and guest suites both have en‑suites, and there are three bathrooms in total, making the layout convenient for family life and guests. The large plot and well-kept gardens give privacy and scope for outdoor activities or further landscaping.
Buyers should note some important practical points. Records state an air‑source heat pump and other low‑carbon features, but the main heating entry is inconsistent and the property may currently rely on electric heaters; services and appliances have not been tested. The sandstone walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could affect running costs and require improvement. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location, and local crime statistics are above average for the area.
This home will suit families seeking an executive countryside residence with strong architectural character and roomy, adaptable accommodation. It offers clear upside for anyone prepared to confirm heating and insulation details and to accept limited digital connectivity in exchange for a large, private plot and exceptional rural outlook.
