GUIDE PRICE £675,000 - £725,000 - A charming and substantial four/five-bedroom detached country residence, set within approximately 0.75 acres of private grounds (tbv), offering exceptional scope for modernisation, extension, or redevelopment (subject to the necessary consents) and offered to the market for the first time in 60 years.

Occupying a generous and mature plot, the property enjoys a semi-rural feel with established gardens, areas of woodland, and a high degree of privacy, making it an ideal opportunity for those seeking to create a bespoke family home.

The accommodation is accessed via an ornate entrance canopy leading into a welcoming entrance hall, which features useful understairs storage. The principal living room is particularly light and spacious, with patio doors opening directly onto the extensive south-facing rear gardens, creating a strong connection between the house and its grounds.

To the front of the property is a well-proportioned Dining room/bed 5 with an en-suite fitted with a shower cubicle, WC, and wash hand basin.

The ground floor also benefits from the rear; the long kitchen/breakfast room provides excellent potential to be reconfigured into a generous open-plan kitchen space. It is currently fitted with a range of wall and base units and offers space and plumbing for a gas hob, electric oven, washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge freezer, along with room for a four-seater breakfast table overlooking the gardens. There is also a utility area, a coal shed and an outside WC.

Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the first-floor landing, which provides loft access. All four bedrooms are well-proportioned and benefit from fitted wardrobes, with one bedroom featuring an en-suite cloakroom. The family bathroom includes a bath, WC, wash hand basin, part-tiled walls, and a frosted front-facing window.

Externally, the property is approached via a large frontage providing ample off-street parking and offering scope for the erection of a garage or further outbuildings, subject to consent. Side access leads to a patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining, with the remainder of the grounds laid mainly to lawn and interspersed with established shrubs and flower beds. Beyond the formal gardens lies an area of woodland, enhancing the rural character of the plot and providing a natural backdrop, together with a variety of outbuildings and garden sheds.

The property is offered for sale with no onward chain and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a country home of this scale and setting, ready to be reimagined to suit modern living.

Agent’s Note:
The mobile home and all outbuildings are included in the sale. The property is sold as seen.

Full profileProperty listings
At Mansell McTaggart we've hit on a unique formula that directly benefits our clients. We're actually a collection of different businesses operating under a common system and linked by the latest technology. This means you get the broad coverage offered by 17 offices, yet the focus and dedication that you only get with an owner-run business. Many agents, when you sign up with them to sell your property, will tie you to using them for 20 weeks or more. So if you find you’re unhappy with their service or that they’ve, say, overpriced your house just to get your instruction, you can’t move to another agent until that period is up.  At Mansell McTaggart we think contracts like this are unreasonably long and restrictive. After all, it should be the service you receive that keeps you with an agent, not the law!
