Requires cosmetic modernisation and updating throughout

Set on approximately a quarter-acre plot in a quiet, sought-after development on the edge of open countryside, this five-bedroom detached home offers substantial family accommodation and private southwest-facing gardens. The house features two reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen with adjoining utility, an impressive reception hall and a double garage with internal access — practical for family life and entertaining. Mature trees and established borders give the garden strong privacy and a sunny aspect.
The layout suits a growing family: four true bedrooms plus a versatile fifth currently used as a home office, an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a large family bathroom. There is obvious potential to reconfigure ground-floor rooms (dining room and kitchen) to create a modern open-plan living space. The property sits within easy reach of highly regarded local schools and offers straightforward access to the M1/M62 and regional train services for commuting.
The house requires cosmetic modernisation and updating throughout — buyers should plan for refurbishment work to bring kitchens, bathrooms and some internal finishes up to contemporary standards. Council Tax is in Band F and the driveway is shared with two neighbouring properties before leading to the private parking and garage, which may affect manoeuvring or access for some buyers. EPC currently rated C; double glazing is pre-2002 and the property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, with partial wall insulation.
For families seeking space, privacy and a strong village setting with countryside on the doorstep, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial detached home on a large plot with scope to modernise and personalise.
