Set on an elevated plot of over a third of an acre in the highly sought-after village of Saxelby, this substantial three-bedroom detached house offers generous living space and a wide, private outlook. The property includes two reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, plus three good-sized bedrooms on the first floor — all arranged over a traditional multi-storey layout. Chain-free sale; viewing is essential to appreciate the scale and outlook.
The long driveway and integral garage provide ample off-road parking, while wrap-around gardens with mature shrubs and trees give strong outdoor potential. The home benefits from classic features such as open fireplaces and an elevated position that enhances privacy and view. With more than 2,100 sq ft of accommodation and approximately 17 rooms including outbuildings, there is scope to reconfigure or extend (subject to consents) to suit modern family living.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation and updating throughout and currently has an EPC rating of E. There is an oil tank on site. The property sits in an area classified as having a high flooding risk — this is a material factor for insurance and any future works. Buyers should be prepared for refurbishment costs but will gain a large, private plot in an affluent, low-crime village setting.
This home will suit families or purchasers seeking a substantial countryside residence with renovation potential, developers looking for a sizeable plot, or anyone who values outdoor space and village life. The combination of scale, location and no onward chain offers a clear canvas for improvement and value creation.
