Three double bedrooms and two bathrooms; principal suite upstairs

This detached chalet sits on a private, level plot of approximately 0.63 acres, backing directly onto open heathland. The house offers over 2,200 sq ft of flexible living space arranged as a generous ground floor with kitchen/breakfast room, separate dining room, sitting room, conservatory and two double bedrooms, plus a substantial principal bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. The raised decking and wildflower garden create an attractive outdoor entertaining area with a strong connection to the surrounding countryside.
The property has clear scope to create a bespoke family home. Previously granted planning permission for extension and reconfiguration gives buyers a head-start for enlargement or remodelling (any works would require confirmation and new permissions where necessary). The detached double garage presents additional potential for ancillary accommodation or conversion (subject to planning).
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is Freehold, located in a low-crime, affluent hamlet with good local schools and easy access to amenities. Notable negatives include very slow broadband speeds and some dated internal finishes that will need updating to reach modern standards. Buyers seeking immediate high-tech connectivity or a turnkey finish should factor refurbishment costs into their plans.
Overall, this chalet is well suited to families or buyers wanting countryside privacy with room to expand. It combines mature, landscaped gardens and direct heathland access with tangible redevelopment potential for those prepared to invest in improvements.
