Generous family home with large garden, garage and strong local schools—survey recommended for cob construction..
Four bedrooms including first-floor principal with en-suite
This four-bedroom detached house in Alphington offers generous family accommodation, a large mature rear garden and ample off-street parking with an integral garage. Living space flows from a generous lounge with fireplace through to a dining room and conservatory, while the kitchen and separate utility provide practical day-to-day functionality. The property has an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a ground-floor shower room, useful for multi-generational living or guests.
Built before 1900 with cob walls and double glazing, the home combines period construction with modern conveniences: mains gas boiler and radiators, EPC C rating, and fast broadband. The plot is large for the area, with a well-stocked garden, paved entertaining areas and a feature pond — ideal for families who want outdoor space and room to grow produce.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is in Council Tax Band F (described as expensive), and older cob construction can require specialist maintenance and careful insulating/repairs. Some source details are inconsistent (the listing also references “end-terrace” and a single-storey bungalow style), so a buyer survey is strongly recommended to clarify construction, structural condition and any retrofit needs. Flood risk is low and local amenities — schools, shops, doctors and good commuter links — make this a convenient family location.
Overall this is a well-located family home with scope to personalise and update where needed. It will suit buyers looking for size, outdoor space and easy access to Alphington’s schools and services, prepared to carry out routine maintenance typical of older, character properties.
