Tucked at the end of a gated drive, this substantial six-bedroom detached house sits within about 4.3 acres of mature grounds, formal gardens and two paddocks — a rare semi-rural plot with genuine privacy yet only 1.5 miles from the village centre. Extending to just over 4,000 sq ft, the house offers five reception rooms and flexible living that will suit an extended family or anyone wanting generous entertaining space.
The ground floor includes a large family kitchen, utility and separate laundry/boot room, with obvious potential to reconfigure areas into a contemporary open-plan layout. Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to six bedrooms, two en suites and three bath/shower rooms, giving space for family, guests or home working. The oversized double garage with a room above offers useful ancillary accommodation or a studio (subject to consents).
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators, has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown age. These factors, together with slow broadband, mean buyers should allow for energy-efficiency upgrades and modernisation to reach optimal comfort and running costs. The house is offered freehold and chain free, and is priced to encourage a prompt sale.
Set in a very affluent area with good nearby schools and easy access to countryside, the home appeals to families seeking space, privacy and equestrian or gardening scope. It also suits buyers looking for a large period house they can update to their own specification.
