Set on a substantial 1.6‑acre plot on the edge of a prestigious woodland village, this 1930s detached house offers generous, characterful family accommodation and exceptional outdoor privacy. The property has five bedrooms, two shower/bath rooms and spacious reception rooms including a dual‑aspect sitting room, dining room, sunroom and a farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room with a walk-in larder. Mature lawns, formal gardens, an orchard, copse and a long private drive create an estate-like setting with countryside views.
The house retains period proportions and features such as high ceilings and a feature fireplace, and there is clear scope to modernise and reconfigure the interior. A large loft and the substantial plot offer huge potential to extend (subject to planning), which will particularly appeal to growing families who want to increase living space or add ancillary accommodation. Garaging is provided both integrated and detached, and outbuildings include a greenhouse and stables (the stables need attention).
Practical points are straightforward: the property benefits from double glazing and extensive grounds, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for rural living. Heating details note oil-fired central heating alongside reports of air-source heat pump and underfloor electric heating components; buyers should verify the current system and running costs. Private drainage is in place and council tax is band G, which is relatively expensive.
This home is best suited to a family or buyer seeking a rural, character property with significant improvement potential. It will suit those prepared to invest in renovation to update kitchens, bathrooms and some outbuildings, unlocking substantial value given the size of plot and desirable location close to local amenities and good schools.
