Set on approximately a third of an acre in a quiet Oaklands road, this split-level four-bedroom chalet offers privacy, mature gardens and countryside views from the principal suite. The property sits elevated at the top of the plot with a gravel driveway, double garage and ample parking, making it practical for family life and visitors.
Internally the layout is versatile: a spacious lounge opening onto a decked veranda, a separate dining room, ground-floor study and utility, plus a flexible fourth bedroom/snug. The first-floor principal bedroom includes a dressing area and en-suite with dual-aspect windows that capture elevated rural outlooks. The size and configuration make the house well suited to multigenerational living or home-working families.
A key value driver is the outline planning permission to erect a detached two/three-bedroom home within the grounds, with a new drive and garage. That permission creates clear development, investment or annexe potential while retaining substantial garden and privacy for the existing house.
Important practical points: the property is older system-built stock and external walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should budget for potential insulation or retrofit works. Council tax is reported as quite expensive. Broadband and mobile signals are average. Overall this is a rare plot with strong flexibility for family living, extension or redevelopment, offered with generous outdoor space and easy access to local schools, shops and transport links.
