Chain free substantial detached house circa 4,627 sqft
A rare, characterful home set within circa 1.5 acres, this substantial detached house blends late-medieval fabric with recent modernisation. The main residence offers generous living space over two floors, including three large bedrooms with en‑suites, separate one‑bedroom annexe, gym/office with sauna, and a double garage with additional car port and storage. The whole is offered chain free, ready to occupy, and benefits from underfloor heating on the ground floor and double glazing.
For families or buyers seeking a multi-use property, the annexe provides multi-generational accommodation or holiday‑let potential, while the site’s outline planning consent (ref: P0374/24/OUT) allows for a second detached dwelling within the grounds — a clear value driver for investors or those wanting to house extended family (note: outline consent only; full permission required). The house retains important period features, including original cruck timbers dated to the late 15th/early 16th century, giving exceptional historic interest.
Practical points to consider: the property sits in a small village with basic local services and mixed school ratings (local primary requires improvement; other nearby schools rated good). The wider area is classified as ageing rural with measures of deprivation, and council tax is above average. While the vendors have recently modernised the home, the historic construction may limit some alterations and any further development will be subject to planning and listed-building constraints if applicable. Overall, this is a rare, flexible country property with good renovation pedigree and clear development potential, best suited to buyers who value character and space.
