Internally the layout provides flexible living — described as 4/5 bedrooms and around 1,950 sq ft — retaining much original character. The property is well suited to families or buyers seeking a countryside retreat with scope to personalise and improve. The elevated, secluded plot is a key selling point for those wanting privacy and open outlooks.
Buyers should note practical considerations: main heating currently relies on portable electric heaters in most rooms; the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors mean some investment may be required to upgrade heating, insulation and connectivity.
Overall this freehold home offers strong long-term potential for those prepared to carry out targeted improvements. The combination of character features, extensive outdoor space, garage and solar panels creates a comfortable base with clear scope to increase energy efficiency and modern comfort levels.
