Set within around one third of an acre and backing onto open agricultural fields, this substantial detached home offers generous, light-filled living across about 3,250 sq ft. The heart of the house is a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living room that opens to a south-facing garden and paved terrace — ideal for entertaining and daily family life. The master suite includes a private balcony; a guest suite with dressing room and ensuite adds flexibility for visitors or multi-generational households.
Built in the early 20th century and comprehensively modernised, the property benefits from contemporary eco features: air-source heat pump with underfloor heating, rooftop solar PV and battery back-up that reduce running costs. Practical additions include electric gated access with in-and-out driveway and separate garage/outbuilding, providing ample parking and storage for cars and equipment.
Buyers should note some material points: the home sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood and a hamlet setting, so local services are limited and routine journeys typically require a short drive. Council Tax is Band G and the EPC is C — efficient for its size but not top-tier. The large plot and driveway require ongoing maintenance and the electric gate/battery systems will need periodic servicing.
Overall, the house will suit buyers seeking an executive family home with strong indoor/outdoor flow, substantial private grounds and eco credentials, while accepting the responsibilities and costs of maintaining a sizeable rural property.
