4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this delightful Victorian cottage combines period charm with generous, flexible living space extending to over 2,000 sq ft, complemented by a double garage and useful outbuildings. The property offers excellent further potential to improve/extend subject to planning consent.

Occupying an elevated position with far-reaching views across the Candover Valley and the Grange estate, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with a network of countryside footpaths quite literally on the doorstep. Approached via a private driveway, the cottage sits behind a substantial lawned front garden, providing both privacy and an attractive approach.

The original cottage retains its character and warmth, featuring a charming snug/sitting room with an open fireplace. Above are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.

To the rear and side, sympathetic extensions have created a superb flow of living space, designed with both family life and entertaining in mind. At the heart of the home is a lovely open-plan kitchen/dining/garden room, flooded with natural light from roof lanterns and opening directly onto to a covered terrace — perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is fitted in classic shaker style, centred around an Aga and complemented by a substantial walk-in pantry.

The rear wing provides additional versatility, offering two further bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious living room/studio with doors opening onto the garden — ideal as guest accommodation, a creative workspace, or multigenerational living.

Outside, the gardens are beautifully established, providing ample space for children to play and for keen gardeners to cultivate. The elevated setting enhances both the views and privacy, while remaining conveniently accessible. A large driveway offers generous parking alongside the double garage.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and adaptable country home in an enviable position, blending Victorian character with modern family living.
