Meadow View House is a substantial four-bedroom detached country home standing in approximately 2.4 acres, with sweeping lawns, woodland and far-reaching southerly views over Heath Common. The property combines traditional sandstone character and high ceilings with many recent upgrades, including a large open-plan living-dining kitchen, garden room and two en‑suite principal bedrooms — well suited to an active family wanting generous indoor and outdoor space.
Ground-floor living is arranged around a dramatic reception hall and an expansive 9.35 x 10.2m living-dining-kitchen with mullioned windows, an island with integrated appliances and direct access to terraces and lawns. A cinema-style second sitting room, garden room, utility, study/home office and generous storage provide flexible living for children, hobbies or home working. Outbuildings — including a studio/gym and garage/stable — extend possibilities for a home office, workshop or classic car storage.
The upper floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms; the principal suite benefits from a dressing area and en‑suite, while a second bedroom also has an en‑suite. Mature, private gardens, a raised terrace with covered barbecue area and woodland with footpath access create an exceptional setting for outdoor family life and entertaining.
Important practical points: the house is of traditional sandstone construction with assumed no wall insulation and carries an EPC rating D — further insulation works may be needed to improve efficiency. There is a shared private driveway maintained by a management company, and a neighbour’s right of way over a lower track. Local indicators show higher-than-average crime and significant area deprivation; council tax is described as quite expensive. The property is freehold, has mains gas central heating, EV charging, CCTV and an alarm system.
