Sitting on a large mature plot, it’s a great option for families looking to create their forever home in an idyllic setting, while still being close to everything they need.

The property is set back behind a gated entrance with a long gravel driveway that leads up to the house. A double garage is tucked neatly to the side, so it doesn’t take away from the property's character and presence.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious hallway leading to four separate reception rooms, a bright lounge, formal dining room, study, and an extra family room. These rooms offer lots of flexibility depending on how you like to live, work, or entertain. Large windows throughout bring in plenty of natural light and lovely views of the surrounding greenery.

The kitchen is a great size as it is, with loads of room to gather, cook, or catch up. For those wanting to update or extend, there’s real potential to create a modern open-plan space (subject to planning) that connects with the rest of the house.

Upstairs are five well-sized bedrooms, all designed to feel bright and comfortable. The main bedroom includes a dressing area and en-suite, creating a bit of a retreat from the rest of the house. There’s more than enough space for a growing family or visiting guests.

The back garden is one of the standout features—wide, private, and surrounded by mature trees and hedging. A full-width patio gives you space to sit out, host barbecues, or just enjoy the outdoors. It’s rare to find a plot this size in the area.
