Set within peaceful West Hill, this detached three-bedroom home sits on a large, private wrap‑around plot ideal for low‑maintenance gardening or outdoor relaxation. The triple‑aspect living room, separate dining room and conservatory provide bright, adaptable reception spaces that suit quiet retirement life or flexible living for downsizers. The property is offered with no onward chain, allowing a straightforward move.
Practicalities reflect the house’s age: oil‑fired central heating, double glazing, and a current EPC rating of E. There is a single garage and driveway for off‑road parking. Internal presentation is solid but dated in places, so buyers should expect cosmetic updating and possible energy‑efficiency improvements to lift performance and comfort.
Opportunities include converting the long loft room into home‑office space or an additional bedroom (subject to consents), and modernising the kitchen and shower room to add value. Note the property sits in a very affluent, low‑crime hamlet with slow broadband and average mobile signal; it’s well suited to purchasers prioritising tranquillity over high‑speed connectivity.
Material considerations are factual and important: council tax is in band G (quite expensive), heating runs on oil with mains gas available only in the road, and the EPC is mid‑low (E). These factors affect running costs and future upgrade needs. Overall, this chain‑free, well‑positioned home will appeal to downsizers or retirees seeking privacy, garden space and scope to personalise.
