A thoughtfully remodelled 1920s detached house set on about 0.43 acres, blending period character with contemporary living. The house centres on a 38’ open-plan kitchen and dining area with a full glass wall to the garden, alongside four further reception rooms and flexible bedroom arrangements ideal for family life, home working or multi-generational use. The principal suite benefits from vaulted ceilings, an ensuite and a private roof terrace; three more doubles include a second ensuite.
Outdoor space is a major asset: west-facing landscaped gardens, a wide terrace with hot tub, lawns sweeping to mature boundaries and a 31’ insulated cedar-clad garden room used as gym/lounge. An oversized insulated tandem garage with roller doors and services nearby offers straightforward conversion potential (subject to planning). The plot backs onto open farmland and sits in an affluent, village-fringe setting with good schools and fast broadband.
Practical points to note: the property’s main heating runs from an LPG boiler and radiators (not a community gas supply), and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. Planning applications have been submitted historically but, to the vendors’ knowledge, none have been approved. Council tax is high (Band G). While extensively modernised over recent years, buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance typical of a period house and for any statutory consents if pursuing garage conversion or further extensions.
