Set on a large plot in the village of St Osyth, this freehold five-bedroom detached house offers more than 1,700 sq ft of family living across multiple floors. Two reception rooms, two bathrooms and generous bedrooms give flexible space for family life, home working or hobbies. The rear faces open fields and the garden is low-maintenance with patio and artificial lawn; several useful outbuildings provide a summer house, home-office/games room and additional storage.
Practical positives include ample off-street parking for numerous vehicles, fast broadband and a rural village setting close to primary and secondary schools rated Good. The property’s post‑war traditional build and chimney detail give straightforward, solid character and scope to personalise interior finishes to modern tastes.
Buyers should note important material considerations: the location is in a high flood-risk area and local crime levels and area deprivation indicators are high. Council tax is above average. These factors may affect insurance costs, mortgage terms and future resale, and some buyers may choose to budget for flood mitigation or targeted refurbishment.
This house will suit growing families seeking space and countryside views who are comfortable managing location-related issues and modest updating. Its size, plot and outbuildings create clear potential for extension or conversion (subject to planning), making it attractive for buyers wanting room to adapt over time.
