Set behind a private gated entrance on approximately 1.38 acres, The Gables is a substantial Tudor‑style detached house offering more than 5,800 sq ft of flexible family accommodation. The home includes six bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, two fitted kitchens, and stables — appealing to families and equestrian purchasers seeking privacy and space in a rural setting.
Internally the property combines character features — vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a mezzanine — with large open-plan reception areas that suit entertaining and multi‑generational living. The expansive grounds, mature trees and outbuildings provide scope for landscaping, ancillary buildings or riding/yard facilities, subject to consents.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow, council tax is described as quite expensive, and external joinery/roofing may need routine maintenance or updating. The house also presents scope for internal modernisation to achieve contemporary standards and maximise value.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a private, large-scale home in a prosperous countryside community with good road links to the A2/M2. It will suit buyers prioritising land, seclusion and flexible internal space who are prepared to carry out selective updating and accept limited digital connectivity.
