This Georgian detached house, built in 1885, combines period character with flexible family accommodation across three floors. The property offers four double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a country-style kitchen — ideal for households wanting defined living spaces and separate bedrooms for older children or guests.
Set in a semi-rural hamlet, the home enjoys genuine countryside views, landscaped patios and a ‘wild garden’ area that attracts wildlife. Practical features include an integral garage with electric door, cobbled driveway and additional land available to rent if more outdoor space is needed.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the plot is described as small despite generous landscaped areas, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is expensive. As a period house there will be ongoing maintenance and possible retrofit costs to modernise services or insulation.
This property will suit families seeking character, space and privacy in a very affluent, low-crime area — or buyers who value a period home with potential to update systems and finishes over time.
