Set within about 0.6 acres, this distinctive 1970s detached family home combines generous indoor space with substantial outdoor grounds, including a paddock, four stables and useful outbuildings. The split-level living creates memorable rooms — a vaulted living room with feature glazing and balcony, plus a triple-aspect rear lounge that makes the most of garden views. The house includes an integrated double garage and private driveway with plentiful parking.
The plot offers clear potential for change: the vendor advises lapsed planning permission for three detached homes and earlier permission for bungalows. That makes the site of interest to buyers seeking development or additional accommodation (subject to gaining fresh planning consent). Equally, the stables and paddock suit equestrian use or hobby farming and provide room for home-working enterprises.
Practical notes: the property was constructed in 1970, has an EPC rating of C and double glazing installed before 2002. The boiler and radiators provide mains gas heating. Some areas may benefit from modernisation to suit contemporary tastes and standards. Council Tax Band E applies.
Location advantages include a private cul-de-sac position close to countryside and fast broadband and mobile signal. Buyers should note mixed local services and schools, a higher-than-average local crime statistic and an area classification indicating deprivation; these factors may affect resale or development prospects.
