A roomy five-bedroom detached home set on just under a fifth of an acre, this mid‑century property sits in a quiet village lane with open farmland views front and rear. The house totals 2,228 sq ft and combines generous living space with practical additions: an attached double garage (with integral workshop), sealed unit double glazing and gas central heating. Two sets of solar panels have produced a surplus income averaging £2,450 pa over the last three years and the EPC is B, helping keep running costs lower than expected for a house of this size.
Ground-floor accommodation is light and double-aspect, with a lounge featuring a log burner, separate dining room with patio doors to the garden, a study, kitchen and a shower room. Upstairs are five bedrooms (three with built-in wardrobes) and a family bathroom. The plot is a major asset: a gravel driveway with wide parking, established rear garden with patio, lawn, vegetable beds and mature oak, and clear views over surrounding farmland.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: broadband speeds are very slow, so streaming/working-from-home may need a fixed wireless or satellite solution; council tax is high (Band F) which will affect running costs; the house dates from the 1950s–60s, so buyers should budget for age‑related maintenance and check services and insulation if planning significant changes. Flood risk is nil and crime levels are very low, making it a peaceful family location.
This will suit a family seeking space and a strong garden, or buyers who value lower energy running costs from solar plus countryside outlook. There is scope to update finishes or reconfigure rooms to reflect modern living preferences while keeping the property’s mid‑century character.
