Grand family living with outbuilding annexe and extensive private gardens.
Approx. 4,444 sq ft on c. two-acre established plot
Set within an established c. two-acre plot, this substantial 4,444 sq ft Tudor/Edwardian-style home combines formal period rooms with flexible family living. Principal reception rooms feature bay windows, original fireplaces and a gracious entrance hall; generous proportions continue upstairs with six double bedrooms plus a dressing room. An attached two-storey annexe above the double garage provides self-contained space ideal for guests or home working.
The gardens and grounds are a major asset — sweeping lawns, mature trees, a summer house, small stable block and long gravel driveway offer privacy and country charm. The layout suits large-family living or multi-generational occupancy, with reception areas that open easily to the garden and a kitchen/breakfast room supported by a utility/boot room.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold and chain free, with mains gas central heating, mains services and double glazing (install date unknown). There is clear scope to modernise kitchen, bathrooms and improve insulation to enhance comfort and energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are slow, which may affect heavy home-working needs.
Notable drawbacks are factual and significant: solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation (assumed), council tax sits in a higher band, and parts of the house will benefit from upgrading rather than being fully modern. These points, combined with the house’s size and plot, represent opportunity for value-add refurbishment rather than a turnkey purchase.
