The principal rooms are large and light, with a south‑facing terrace, balcony off the principal bedroom and extensive views across the grounds. Garaging and multiple outbuildings provide generous parking and useful workshop/storage space.
The house was built c.1929 and retains period character; it provides a flexible two‑storey layout with large reception rooms, study, utility and scope to reconfigure. The plot and setting are the property’s prime assets — lawns, wildflower areas and woodland provide privacy and a range of outdoor uses for children, pets and gardening enthusiasts.
The property requires comprehensive updating and renovation: there is an EPC rating of E and modernisation is needed throughout. Prospective buyers should allow for refurbishment costs and note that council tax is very expensive. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators and mains services are connected.

No flood risk is recorded and the location offers countryside walks, good road links and easy access to local independent and state schools.
