Treetops is a spacious single-storey country home set within extensive grounds and about 16.5 acres, offering true rural privacy in the Howardian Hills. The bungalow provides four bedrooms, generous reception space and a large double garage with an adjoining workshop — ideal for hobbyists, car enthusiasts or simple, single-level living. The formal gardens are established and terraced, backing onto open farmland with long-range countryside views.
There is practical scope for improvement and limited development potential (subject to planning consent). Heating is by oil boiler with several Creda electric storage heaters still in place; the property carries an EPC Band E and some elements would benefit from modernisation, such as heating and likely electrical upgrades. Drainage is via septic tank and mains water and electricity are connected.
Important legal and occupation matters: the house is sold freehold but is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Clause restricting occupation to those employed in agriculture/forestry. The wider estate land is sold as part of separate lots and some farmland on the estate is subject to Farm Business Tenancy Agreements (details available) — check boundaries and tenancies if purchasing the land separately. Council Tax is in Band E.
For buyers seeking quiet, substantial grounds and simplified single-level living, Treetops offers a rare combination of seclusion and convenience. It will particularly suit those able to meet the agricultural occupancy condition or looking for a country residence to update and personalise.
