Set in a peaceful rural hamlet with no immediate neighbours, Oatlands is a carefully remodelled three-bedroom detached home offering exceptional panoramic countryside views. The property has been newly renovated and presents in immaculate decorative order, combining period character with contemporary fittings and generous living space. A private electric gated driveway, detached garage and versatile outbuildings add practical convenience for parking, storage or home-based projects.
The house is arranged over two storeys with a light-filled living room opening onto a raised composite deck, and a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room framed by far-reaching rear views. The large, south-facing garden is laid out across two levels and includes a lower lawn, mature planting and secure enclosed areas currently used for kennels and grooming — these powered outbuildings (one with water) could convert to offices or studios. The master suite includes a dressing area, en-suite shower room and private balcony that captures the sweeping outlook.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a separate boiler room and oil tank storage; walls are granite as built and are assumed to have no cavity insulation; broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Council tax is described as expensive. These factors should be considered alongside the propertys rural benefits and recent refurbishment when assessing running costs and digital connectivity needs.
Oatlands will suit buyers seeking rural seclusion with good road access to local amenities, families wanting proximity to well-rated small schools, or those looking for a stylish country base with adaptable outbuildings. The combination of large gardens, excellent views and ready-to-live-in presentation means the house is move-in ready while still offering straightforward scope for further improvement or homeworking adaptation.
