- Detached 3-bedroom dormer bungalow with rustic stone exterior
- Large plot around 3.75 acres; further 1.47 acres by negotiation
- Modern workshop/general-purpose building and separate garage
- Conservatory, exposed beams and stone fireplace; character features
- EPC D, electric storage heating — likely higher energy costs
- Partial cavity wall insulation; built 1976–82, some updating needed
- Very slow broadband; excellent mobile signal for calls only
- Council tax above average; area classed as very deprived
Set on approximately 3.75 acres (with a further 1.47 acres available by negotiation), this detached 3-bedroom dormer bungalow offers genuine smallholding potential while retaining comfortable family accommodation. Stone and render elevations, exposed beams and a stone fireplace give the house character; a conservatory and large windows provide sunny garden outlooks. A modern general-purpose workshop/garage adds practical value for hobby farming, storage or a home business.
The property is useable now but will suit a buyer happy to carry some updating. The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, has cavity walls with only partial insulation, double glazing of unknown age and an EPC rating of D. Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains electricity (no community heating), so running costs will be higher than modern gas or heat-pump systems.
Practical considerations are plain: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is excellent, making remote working possible only with workarounds; council tax is above average; and the area is classified as very deprived which may affect resale or service provision. There is no flood risk and crime is very low, and the site’s large plot, rural access and existing outbuilding make this a rare opportunity for smallholding, equestrian use or someone seeking space and privacy.
Overall, this property will appeal to buyers prioritising land, quiet rural living and workshop space who are prepared to invest in energy improvements and some modernisation to reduce running costs and bring living spaces fully up to contemporary standards.
