Set directly opposite the outstanding Gordon’s School, this extended 1850s detached house sits in gated grounds of about 0.7 acres and combines period character with a comprehensive modern refurbishment. Living space is generous and arranged over multiple reception rooms, with a bright, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room that opens via French doors onto a sun terrace and landscaped lawns — excellent for family life and entertaining.
The principal suite occupies a peaceful first-floor position and features bespoke fitted wardrobes, a window seat and an en-suite; three further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation. Additional living space includes a double-aspect living room with a stone fireplace, study, utility and cloakroom, delivering adaptable rooms for home working and children’s activities.
A substantial detached outbuilding provides a triple garage, workshop, games room and shower room with independent services; it offers clear potential for conversion to an annexe subject to planning (STPP). Practical details: freehold tenure, newly renovated, EPC band C, broadband reported slow locally and council tax is in a higher band — factors to weigh for buyers.
This property will appeal mainly to families seeking top-tier schooling and village living, or buyers looking for large plot potential in an affluent, semi-rural setting. While the house is presented to a high standard, buyers should be aware of the slow broadband speeds and the need to secure planning for any annexe conversion if required.
