A substantial detached country house set within approximately three quarters of an acre of mature grounds, positioned on Bashurst Hill with long-range views over adjoining farmland. The house offers generous living space totalling about 3,365 sq ft, including a double-aspect sitting room with a large open fireplace, separate play/snug rooms, a large kitchen/dining room and a useful studio, pool room and outbuildings. Outdoor amenities include a heated swimming pool, large patio, formal lawns and a double car port with ample off-street parking.
Accommodation comprises three double bedrooms plus a good-sized single, two ensuite shower rooms and a principal bedroom with modern ensuite bath and shower. The property benefits from solar panels with battery storage and an air-source heat pump for main heating, reducing running costs compared with purely fossil-fuel systems. The plot and ancillary buildings give scope for flexible use — home office, gym, annexe or further conversion subject to consents.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward and factual: the EPC is D and the house was originally constructed with solid brick walls (no known built-in cavity insulation), so thermal upgrades may be advisable. The pool is oil-fired heated and will require ongoing servicing and running costs; large grounds demand regular maintenance. Broadband and mobile signal are average in this semi-rural location, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Purchasers should expect some modernisation in places while benefiting from significant character, space and privacy.
