Set in a peaceful riverside hamlet, The Map House is a spacious detached family home with genuine countryside appeal. The front offers river views while the rear opens onto paddocks and fields — ideal for families who value privacy and outdoor space.
Internally the layout is practical: large lounge with wood-burning stove, separate dining room, generous kitchen/breakfast, utility and cloakroom, plus four first-floor bedrooms including a generous master with en-suite. A galleried landing and well-proportioned rooms create a comfortable, airy feel throughout.
Outside the plot is a major asset: landscaped gardens, fruit trees, extensive driveway parking and a detached garage building with carport and a first-floor room suitable for a home office, gym or hobby space. Practical notes: heating is oil-fired, drainage is by septic tank and the property is of solid brick construction (no built-in wall insulation assumed), which may prompt insulation or heating upgrades for efficiency.
This home suits a family seeking rural living with strong indoor-outdoor flow and space to expand hobbies or home working. The property is well presented but buyers should budget for long-term maintenance items associated with older solid-wall houses and an oil heating system. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting and versatile outbuilding.
