Set on a quiet no-through lane in sought-after Harrold, this detached chalet offers roomy family living and a rare 140 ft private rear garden. The house combines generous reception space — including a large L-shaped sitting room and separate dining/family room — with off-street parking for several cars and a double-length garage.
The layout suits growing families: three bedrooms (two doubles), a refitted cloakroom and shower room, plus utility/store space off the garage. Gas central heating, double glazing and substantial room sizes make the home immediately habitable, while the long garden and wide driveway create excellent scope for outdoor living and parking.
There is clear potential to extend further (subject to planning permission) and to modernise cosmetically throughout. The property shows traditional, slightly dated finishes and some external timber cladding weathering; modest refurbishment of kitchen, bathrooms and exterior will add value. Note the property sits in a medium flooding risk area, broadband speeds are slow and council tax is above average — factors to consider for future running costs and connectivity.
Overall this is a versatile village family home in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with nearby school options and local amenities. Buyers seeking space, parking and long-term improvement potential will find strong appeal here.
