Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this four-bedroom detached home offers roomy, flexible living across nearly 1,940 sq ft with countryside views toward the River Blackwater. The light, vaulted entrance leads to a study, sitting room and a large kitchen/dining/breakfast space, plus a ground-floor bedroom with a Jack-and-Jill shower room that doubles as a guest cloakroom. Upstairs a galleried landing serves three further bedrooms; the principal suite has a vaulted en suite and doors onto a balcony with panoramic views.
Outside, the plot is a clear asset: a large, south-facing garden with patio, sun terrace and outside bar, plus extensive driveway parking, garage and space for a boat, motorhome or caravan. The balcony is currently being extended to increase outdoor relaxation space. The property benefits from double glazing, roof and wall insulation (assumed timber-frame insulated build), low-energy lighting and a mains gas boiler with radiator heating.
Practical positives include existing planning permission for further works and low local crime in an affluent area with good primary schooling nearby. Broadband and mobile signal are generally average locally, though the property reports good 4G reception on site. The house dates from the 1980s–90s and presents as very well maintained internally and externally.
Buyers should note a few material points: council tax is described as expensive, the property’s construction includes assumed elements (timber frame and floor insulation status includes some assumptions), and some building details reference a solid floor with no insulation (assumed) which may need confirmation. The balcony extension is in progress, so buyers should check completion status and any remaining works or permissions.
