A spacious four-bedroom detached chalet tucked into a peaceful village setting, this home offers flexible accommodation across two floors and a generous, landscaped plot. Light-filled reception rooms include a 20 ft sitting room with bay window and wood-burning stove, a formal dining room, study with garden access, and a sunny garden room currently used as a library. The fitted kitchen links to a breakfast room and useful utility, making everyday family living practical and sociable.
The gardens are a standout feature: large, well-stocked and private with multiple patios, mature trees and seasonal colour. Driveway parking and an integral garage add convenience for families commuting from this rural, low-crime location with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Local schooling options range from well-regarded state primaries to nearby independent schools, supporting a family lifestyle.
Buyers should note the property’s mid‑20th century construction and oil‑fired central heating. Walls are cavity-built with no confirmed insulation and some services or finishes may need updating. Council Tax is above average (Band E). The house is freehold and in a conservation area, which helps preserve the village character but may restrict some external alterations.
This home will suit families seeking space, garden privacy and village life, or buyers who want a characterful house with scope to modernise heating and energy performance over time. Its size and versatile reception layout also offer potential for ground-floor bedroom use if required.
