Set within a 1.1-acre landscaped plot on the edge of Great Glen, this striking six‑bedroom family home pairs period character with contemporary living. The house offers abundant reception space, a vaulted garden living/dining room with log burner and bi-fold doors, and a high-spec open-plan kitchen with Corian island and premium integrated appliances — ideal for large-family day-to-day life and entertaining.
The principal suite benefits from a balcony, built-in wardrobes and a stylish en-suite; two further second-floor suites provide excellent guest or teenage accommodation. Mature, private grounds include two entertaining terraces (one with hot tub and cold plunge), a substantial timber outbuilding and electronically operated gates with a sweeping driveway and double garage — a rare level of seclusion so close to village amenities and highly regarded schools.
Practical considerations are explicit: the property has an EPC rating of D, solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and older construction (c.1900–1929), so buyers should budget for energy upgrades. The plot sits in an area with a high flooding risk classification despite no known recent flooding to the vendors’ knowledge. A covenant prevents building to the immediate front and rear; neighbours’ planning proposals for the adjacent field have been mentioned by the vendors but, as far as they know, no application has been submitted.
This home will suit families seeking substantial internal space, privacy and high-quality social living, and buyers prepared to invest in energy efficiency and long-term maintenance. Its size, plot and layout also present potential for sympathetic alteration or extension subject to planning and covenant constraints.
