Guide Price: £850,000.

From the moment you arrive, the home makes a statement. A generous driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by an attached garage, while the detached positioning gives an immediate sense of independence and space — something buyers in this location truly value.

The first floor offers four bedrooms, perfectly configured for growing families:

•An ensuite shower room to the main bedroom
•A well-appointed family bathroom

It’s a layout that allows everyone their own space, while keeping the family connected.

Downstairs – Where the Home Truly Comes Alive

The ground floor is where this home elevates itself.

At its heart is a beautiful kitchen diner, finished with sleek contemporary cabinetry, quartz worktops, a breakfast bar for everyday gathering, a Quooker tap and integrated Neff appliances — a space built for family breakfasts, entertaining friends and long Sunday lunches.

The lounge is generous, warm and wonderfully inviting. Patio doors open onto a raised decked terrace, immediately drawing your eye to the expansive garden and beyond to the mature trees of Thriftwood. It’s a view that genuinely stops you in your tracks.

Leading from the lounge is a second reception room — incredibly versatile as a playroom, snug, formal dining room or even a music room — which also enjoys patio doors opening onto the same raised deck. The flow between inside and outside is seamless.

Standing at those doors, looking out across the lawn and into the tall trees beyond, feels almost alpine. In summer, with the greenery in full leaf, it resembles something you’d expect overlooking the forests of Austria — peaceful, private and utterly calming.

At the bottom of the garden sits a charming wooden cabin — perfect as a summer house, creative studio, teen den or quiet retreat. The garden itself is substantial, lawned and ideal for children to play freely while adults entertain above on the terrace.
