A substantial stone-built lodge set in an elevated, prominent position overlooking open fields, this property combines period character with generous family accommodation. The main house offers four double bedrooms—three with en suites—three reception rooms plus an office, and a modern kitchen. The attached one-bedroom annex with its own lounge, kitchen and en suite provides independent living or rental potential.
The plot is a major selling point: a circular gravel driveway with gated entrance and central fountain, detached double garage/outbuilding, extensive parking and very large rear gardens that back directly onto agricultural land, offering privacy and far-reaching countryside views. The house is presented chain free and freehold, with no flood risk and low local crime.
Practical points to note: heating is by oil-fired boiler to radiators and the dwelling appears to have solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, which can affect running costs. The EPC is D and council tax band is expensive. While many principal rooms are well maintained and the kitchen is modern, parts of the property may benefit from updating and energy-efficiency improvements.
This is well suited to a large family seeking a country-edge lifestyle, buyers wanting ancillary accommodation for relatives or guests, or those looking for a high-profile village residence with potential for enhancement (subject to any necessary consents). Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, layout and outlook in person.
