Set in an elevated rural position with far-reaching valley views, this substantial three-bedroom detached home offers almost 1,940 sq ft of flexible living space across multiple levels. The layout includes a spacious lounge with panoramic outlook, separate dining room, conservatory, breakfast kitchen with integral appliances, master bedroom with dressing room and ensuite, plus a further double bedroom, single bedroom/office and a four-piece family bathroom. A large integral garage and block-paved drive provide parking for six to seven cars.
Practical strengths include double glazing, oil-fired central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working. The low-maintenance, landscaped gardens wrap the property and capitalise on the outlook; the plot is generous and private. The house is offered chain free and sits within reach of local shops, schools, rural walks and the M62, making it workable for commuting and family life.
Notable considerations: the home was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and the cavity walls are as-built with no added insulation, so thermal upgrades would improve energy efficiency and running costs. Heating runs on an oil-fired system (private supply) which can be more expensive than mains gas; council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors, together with the home’s age, mean some modernisation or targeted refurbishment may be beneficial to optimise comfort and reduce bills.
This property will suit buyers seeking space, privacy and countryside living with good connectivity — families wanting scope to personalise a large home, or purchasers looking to add value through energy improvements and cosmetic updating. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the scale, setting and long views from this attractive rural plot.
