Set within almost three acres of landscaped grounds, this substantial five-bedroom detached house suits a family seeking privacy, space and rural lifestyle opportunities. The recent architect-designed timber-clad extension creates a dramatic 34ft open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining wing with vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors onto a sunny terrace — ideal for entertaining and everyday family living. A principal ground-floor suite with dressing room and ensuite adds practical single-level living.
The plot includes a paddock and substantial barn, giving clear scope for equestrian use or other outbuilding-led hobbies. Mature woodland boundaries, formal lawns, terraces, pond and outbuildings deliver seclusion and versatile outdoor space. Parking for several vehicles is provided on the private driveway.
Buyers should note a few material items: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler, walls are cavity with no confirmed retrofit insulation (assumed), and council tax is high. Reported broadband speeds are inconsistent across sources (range from slow to full-fibre claims) — confirm current service levels prior to offer. Constructed in the 1930–49 period with recent modern interventions, the house offers scope for modest improvement rather than wholesale refurbishment.
Overall, this is a well-proportioned country family home that combines contemporary open-plan living with generous grounds and lifestyle potential. It will appeal to purchasers wanting countryside privacy, space for animals or leisure projects, and straightforward adaptation to individual tastes.
