Reputedly dating from the late 1930’s, Barakat is a substantial brick and part rendered bungalow under a slate roof that has been imaginatively extended in the 1990’s. This has significantly enhanced the accommodation by adding a study, a bedroom, an integrated garage and a utility room. The accommodation is now sensibly configured with a large nicely proportioned sitting room/dining area adjoining the conservatory which makes the most of the outstanding southerly views. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric hob and an AEG double oven; other attributes include a Worcester gas boiler, good quality finishes and generously proportioned bedrooms with built in wardrobes. In recent years a number of windows have been replaced including the roof of the conservatory.

Barakat stands in a large plot of approximately 0.37 of an acre and has the benefit of access from both Station Road and Knotts Close with tarmac drives leading to the integral garage with electric up and over doors at either end. The majority of the garden is south facing; there is a large area of grass, flanked with well stocked flower and shrub borders and specimen trees including copper beech, rowan, red hawthorn and a variety of fruit trees including apple, greengage and quince. There are productive beds with rhubarb, strawberries and raspberries. In addition, there is a useful timber shed/workshop. The gardens are well screened at both front and rear; the access off Knotts Close is flanked by a rendered wall clad with wisteria.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on June 13, 2022

Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 13, 2022

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
