4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

*FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW SATURDAY 28TH FEBRUARY – BY APPOINTMENT ONLY* A beautifully presented four/three-bedroom family home, featuring a superb rear garden backing onto open fields with far‑reaching rural views. Offering flexible accommodation extending to over 1700 sq ft in total, the property is further enhanced by a generous driveway, outbuildings, and the potential to extend again to the side or into the loft (STPP).

This home is located on the edge of Ockley village backing onto fields creating a very rural fell yet remaining within easy reach of local amenities and miles of open countryside right on the doorstep.

The welcoming hallway sets the tone for the home's elegant period charm and spacious family-friendly layout. At the front, the sitting room features large, recently fitted double‑glazed sash‑style windows and a characterful feature fireplace with log burner, creating a bright yet cosy space. Generous in proportion, it easily accommodates a comfortable seating arrangement-perfect for relaxed evenings. To the rear, the property truly opens up with a thoughtfully designed extension that creates the heart of the home-a stunning 25ft open‑plan kitchen/dining/family area opens for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen features stylish cabinetry, extensive worktop space, and a central island with seating, combining modern practicality with a subtle nod to the home's period character. The dining area is bathed in natural light, thanks to floor‑to‑ceiling bi‑fold doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. The family area offers a more traditional feel, with a feature fireplace with log burner and ample space for a comfortable sofa. The next room is exceptionally versatile, offering multiple uses such as a home office, snug, or playroom-as it is currently arranged. Previously used as a fourth bedroom by the former owners, it is ideally positioned adjacent to the bathroom/utility room, making it a highly practical space. Further enhancing the home's functionality, the well‑appointed bathroom/utility room has been updated in recent years and includes a full bathroom suite, excellent storage solutions, and dedicated laundry facilities.

Upstairs, a spacious landing with loft hatch leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying excellent natural light. The principal bedroom offers generous space for a double bed and benefits from large double glazed sash style window. The second bedroom is another comfortable double, enjoying picturesque views across the garden and open fields, while the third bedroom is another double with views. The shower room is finished to an exceptional standard, featuring a shower unit with wall‑mounted shower fittings and stylish tiling. The property also offers exciting potential to extend into the loft as well as to the side (STPP).

Outside
The outside space is truly impressive. To the front, a private driveway provides parking for several vehicles, complemented by a car port and screened by mature hedging that offers excellent privacy from the road.

The rear garden is another standout feature, extending to over 200 ft and thoughtfully arranged to maximise enjoyment of the outdoors. A large patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while two generous lawns lead directly to open fields, offering wonderful uninterrupted views. At the far end, a fenced-off area currently serves as a 'kitchen garden' with raised beds-ideal for those wishing to embrace the "good life" and grow their own fruit and vegetables.

Another unique feature is the former pig sty, now used for storage. This charming structure offers significant potential (STPP) and, with the right vision, could be transformed into additional accommodation or a useful garden room.

Outbuilding - Recently updated, the main outbuilding provides excellent storage and is equipped with power and lighting, offering great potential for conversion into a home office, studio, or workshop if desired.

This property falls under Council Tax Band E. The property is connected to mains water, drainage, gas and electricity. The property has a broadband connection.
