The Hermitage is a well-built detached home from 2012, positioned against open countryside and arranged over two floors to suit family life. The ground-floor layout includes a versatile bedroom suite with external access and a modern wet-room ensuite, offering easy accommodation for guests or multi-generation living. High-quality oak finishes, a bespoke handmade kitchen and a bright open-plan kitchen-dining area with bi-fold doors create a warm, sociable heart to the house.
Upstairs there are three further bedrooms, including a vaulted master with exposed beams, and a large family bathroom. Practical features include underfloor heating to the ground floor, solar panels that feed hot water, ample storage and a large powered shed. The private driveway provides parking for several vehicles and the tiered, landscaped gardens step up to open farmland, delivering a strong sense of privacy and rural outlook.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the house uses LPG for heating and hot water distribution which can be more costly and requires annual servicing; drainage is to a private septic tank; and broadband and mobile signals are limited locally. There is also a medium flood risk for the area and the property sits in a remote, ageing rural community; local amenities are sparse and some services require travel.
Overall this is a comfortable, characterful country home that balances solid specification with countryside seclusion. It will suit buyers wanting rural privacy and strong living spaces, while those who need reliable high-speed internet, public transport links or lower running costs should factor these limitations into their decision.
