The wraparound mature gardens, summerhouse and extensive driveway parking for several cars are strong lifestyle assets for families who value outdoor space and storage. Two stone workshops offer scope for a home office, gym or studio subject to any necessary consents. The property is freehold and in a low-crime, affluent village-fringe location with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note this is a Victorian-era building (pre-1900) with stone walls assumed to be uninsulated and double glazing of unknown installation date. Heating is mains-gas boiler and radiators; two log burners provide character and supplementary heat. Council tax is above average. Prospective purchasers are advised to arrange surveys and service checks, particularly around insulation, glazing history and any works needed to convert outbuildings.
Overall, the house will suit families seeking character, generous gardens and flexible living space in a quiet, prosperous rural setting. It rewards buyers who value charm and are prepared to carry out targeted improvements to maximise comfort and energy efficiency.
