Built in the 1980s and set within a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the popular village of Shroton, this substantial detached home enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting with far-reaching countryside views across open fields to the rear. The property has been lovingly owned and occupied by the same family for approximately 40 years, and now offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise a generously proportioned home in an enviable village location.
The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, extending to three reception rooms, a kitchen with adjoining separate utility room, four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a downstairs loo, making it particularly well suited to family living or those seeking flexible space for home working or hobbies. Typical of its era, the house benefits from strong room proportions, a practical layout and excellent natural light throughout, providing a solid and adaptable foundation for modernisation.
One of the standout features is the rear garden, which backs directly onto open countryside, creating a real sense of privacy and connection with the surrounding landscape. Combined with a large driveway and integrated double garage, the property offers both practicality and potential in equal measure.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial village home with outstanding views, generous living space and the scope to add your own stamp, all within one of the area’s most sought-after and well-connected villages.
Accommodation - Inside
The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, which immediately sets the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the house. From here, doors lead to the principal ground floor rooms, all of which enjoy good natural light and flexible use.

Additional reception rooms provide further versatility, suitable for use as a dining room, family room or home office depending on individual needs.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden units with laminate worktops and incorporates an double oven, with space available for additional appliances. A breakfast bar provides informal seating, while windows offer pleasant views across the garden. Beyond the kitchen, a separate utility room adds valuable practicality, offering further appliance space, storage and access to the outside.
Upstairs, the first floor is split over two levels and offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom with en-suite facilities.
