Spacious family home with large gardens and countryside outlook.
Circa 1834 detached manor house with strong period features
An imposing manor house dating from circa 1834, Gallops Cottage sits on a very large plot backing onto open fields. The house offers four double bedrooms, four reception rooms and flexible living including a ground-floor bedroom with en suite and a dedicated home office — ideal for a family needing space and separation. High ceilings, period fireplaces and a Gothic-style garden room add strong character and attractive principal reception spaces.
The property was substantially restored around 30 years ago but now requires updating and modernisation. Structural fabric is traditional solid brick with assumed no wall insulation; heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators. These facts present both a renovation opportunity to improve energy performance and a running-cost consideration for buyers.
Outside, mature front gardens, an enclosed rear garden that borders fields, a long driveway and garage provide privacy, parking and excellent outdoor space for family life. The hamlet location is peaceful and rural; everyday facilities are limited locally but good primary and secondary schools and village amenities are within reasonable reach.
Viewings are recommended for buyers seeking a substantial period home with character and scope to personalise. Be aware of likely refurbishment costs, oil-fuel running expenses and an above-average council tax band when budgeting.
