Summary - FARLEIGH, SOUTH STOKE ROAD RG8 0PL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Detached village home with large garden, countryside views, and potential to modernise.
Private mature garden of approximately 0.26 acres with rural views
Presented to the market for the first time in over 50 years, this detached village house occupies a private plot of about 0.26 acres with commanding, uninterrupted views over open countryside. The living room’s large picture windows and the rear garden’s low hedge frame rolling hills, creating a peaceful, rural aspect ideal for relaxed retirement living or quieter downsizing. Available with no onward chain.
Accommodation is flexible: the ground floor can provide single-level living with a study/bedroom and shower room, while three double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor. The kitchen and generous utility room deliver practical day-to-day convenience, and a single garage plus a separate workshop/store add useful storage and hobby space. There is also a large pumped koi pond that forms a central garden feature.
The property is characterful and offers clear potential for sympathetic updating and extension (subject to usual planning consents). Practical considerations include an EPC rating of D, solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, and an older build (pre-1900) which may require fabric improvements and modernisation. Broadband speeds are slow locally and council tax is in a higher band.
For buyers seeking privacy, garden space and countryside views close to village amenities and good schools, this home combines established charm with scope to modernise. It will suit someone looking for a peaceful retirement base or a family wanting adaptable accommodation with long-term development potential.
