A substantial five-bedroom detached house set in about 0.75 acres, this Georgian-style home offers over 3,000 sq ft of traditional living with uninterrupted countryside views. High ceilings, sash windows and multiple reception rooms give the property a strong period character and flexible family layout. The south-facing wraparound garden, terrace, greenhouse and potential tennis court provide private outdoor space for family life and entertaining.
Practical strengths include off-street parking behind wooden gates, a good-sized garage, workshop and outbuildings with loft storage — useful for hobbies, storage or conversion to an annexe (subject to planning). The location is well placed for Bentley station (under a mile), local schools and easy road access to the A31/A3 corridor and rail links to London.
Notable considerations: the EPC is rated F and the cavity walls appear uninsulated, so energy efficiency improvements will be needed. Broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property has period fabric that will suit buyers happy with ongoing maintenance and sensitive updating rather than a fully modernised turnkey home.
This house will suit a family seeking space, privacy and rural living with convenient rail access, or a buyer wanting to improve energy performance and add modern finishes to enhance long-term value. Any external conversions (annexe, reinstated tennis court) require the usual planning consents.
