Spacious four-bed detached house with huge garden, gated parking and entertaining patio.
Large detached family house with four bedrooms and ensuite
Set back behind a large gated driveway on popular Dark Lane, this substantial four-bedroom detached home offers generous family accommodation across two floors. Ground floor living is flexible — study, office, large dining room, long kitchen-diner and a living room with feature fireplace — giving scope for family life and entertaining. The outdoor space is a standout: a paved patio with covered bar and hot tub area leads up to a very large, well-maintained lawn with mature borders and good privacy.
The principal bedroom is large and benefits from built-in wardrobes and an ensuite; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Practical features include a utility room, downstairs WC, double glazing and mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators. The home sits in an affluent, low-crime area close to village amenities, good primary schools and bus links, making it well suited to growing families wanting village-edge living with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note the house dates from the 1930s–1940s and has solid brick walls with no known insulation, so further insulation and energy-efficiency improvements may be required to reduce running costs. Glazing installation dates are unknown. There is also a slightly restricted head height in one bedroom area due to the eaves. Council Tax sits in band G and is described as quite expensive — factor this into ongoing costs.
Overall this is a large, characterful family home on a very large plot, offering immediate liveability with clear potential to improve energy performance and personalise interiors. It will appeal to families seeking generous rooms, outdoor entertaining space and village-fringe tranquillity, while buyers seeking a fully modern, low-maintenance energy profile should allow for upgrade works.
