4 bedroom detached house for sale

A deceptively spacious, versatile residence standing on grounds of 0.49 acres (stls)

What We Think at The Zoe Napier Group

This is a truly lovely family home that has been cleverly reconfigured and refurbished to an excellent standard by the current owners, offering extremely versatile and spacious accommodation that can be adapted in various ways to suit the incoming buyer. The detached garage/workshop extends to an impressive 1,000 sq ft and offers a generous footprint with potential for conversion into a home office, gym, or annexe (STP).

What the Owners Say

It has been fantastic living here for the last five years and we will dearly miss having Freeport Designer Village and its range of amenities on our doorstep, while the railway station has been an added bonus, allowing us to reach London Liverpool Street with minimal fuss. Set on the outskirts of the village and surrounded by rolling countryside, the location is truly special and has allowed us to enjoy many long dog walks while soaking up the stunning views.

History & Background

This deceptively spacious property is believed to have been constructed in the 1960s, with later additions in the 1980s and provides versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.

The ground floor features two/three generous reception rooms, double bedroom, shower room, recently refurbished kitchen/breakfast room, and a larger than average utility room. The first floor offers a principal bedroom with en-suite, a further double bedroom with dressing room, and recently refitted family bathroom.

The 0.49-acre grounds (stls) are a particular highlight, incorporating an extensive driveway with ample off-street parking, large Nissan hut/garage/workshop, and uninterrupted views over open countryside.

Setting & Location
