Spacious and unusually versatile, this three-bedroom detached house unfolds across four well-planned levels and sits on a large, multi-tiered plot with sweeping valley views. The home blends period charm with contemporary upgrades: solid-stone worktops, integrated Smeg appliances, ambient lighting, smart controls, air conditioning and underfloor heating in key rooms. A grand entrance and open-plan lounge/diner create confident entertaining spaces that focus on the panoramic outlook.
Bedrooms occupy the upper floors, with two rooms opening onto a wide shared balcony and the principal bedroom enjoying a feature mezzanine ideal for a studio or private retreat. The lower-ground floor is a strong value driver — bright, air-conditioned, and with direct garden access — offering clear potential as a gym, home office or self-contained annexe. The landscaped, multi-level garden and elevated vantage points are standout assets, complemented by a block-paved driveway and garage.
Practical considerations are described plainly: there is one principal shower room (with high-quality finishes) only, the house dates from 1930–49 and external walls are original solid brick (assumed no cavity insulation), and the EPC is D. The layout offers excellent scope for reconfiguration or further upgrading to suit a modern family’s needs or an investor seeking flexible accommodation. Local amenities include good primary schools and quick transport links; a couple of nearby secondary schools currently have weaker Ofsted outcomes.
In short: a rare, large detached home combining dramatic views and flexible space with quality fittings — requiring only targeted modernisation and careful consideration of energy-efficiency improvements to realise its full potential.
