Set in the small hamlet of Monk's Gate, this substantial four-bedroom detached home sits opposite a protected wildlife pond and backs onto open farmland. The property offers flexible family living with a large south-facing garden, a self-contained one-bedroom annexe and wide driveway leading to a 19ft garage. It is offered chain free and has scope to improve or extend (STPP).
Ground floor living centres on a triple-aspect 21ft living room with open fireplace opening to the dining area, plus a kitchen/breakfast room with sliding doors to the garden. A ground-floor home office adds practical work-from-home space. The annexe, with its own side access, comprises a kitchen, shower room and 17ft double bedroom—useful for multigenerational living or long-stay guests.
Upstairs are three large double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a principal suite created by combining two rooms to provide a dressing area and en suite; this can be reinstated to four bedrooms if required. The generous south-facing garden of about 100ft includes paved patio, lawns and mature borders, then steps down to a further lawn area that directly adjoins farmland with open views.
Practical considerations: the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler and runs on private fuel (not a community supply), broadband speeds are slow in this location, and council tax is noted as quite expensive. There is clear potential to modernise or extend (subject to planning), which will suit buyers seeking extra space or capital-adding improvements.
