Set on approximately three acres in a quiet Cowden hamlet, this four-double-bedroom detached home offers genuine rural living with immediate scope to personalise. Ground floor living includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility, pantry and cloakroom, while the first floor provides four doubles and a family shower room. The grounds are a key asset, with landscaped gardens, woodland and a secluded cabin/workshop.
Practical features include a private driveway and detached oak car port, double glazing, and oil-fired central heating via boiler and radiators. Cowden station is a short drive away and local primaries and independent schools are within easy reach, making the location suitable for families seeking countryside life with commuter links.
There are important considerations: the house is timber-framed and assumed to have no insulation in the walls, and heating runs on a private oil supply. There is only one shower room plus a cloakroom, which may feel limited for four double bedrooms. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors, together with the property’s 1930–49 construction, present clear renovation and improvement potential for buyers wanting to update insulation, services or add a second bathroom.
Overall this property suits buyers seeking generous outdoor space, a quiet rural setting and the chance to enhance a characterful home. The plot and outbuildings will particularly appeal to those wanting workshop space, home hobbies or room for gardening and small-scale equestrian or amenity projects.
