"Set within a beautifully established plot of over half an acre, this detached home presents a rare opportunity for modernisation, allowing the next owners to make their mark. Owned by the same family for nearly three decades, it offers a sense of space and potential that s increasingly hard to find, along with a flexible layout that can easily adapt to different styles of living. The ground floor is well proportioned and full of natural light. A welcoming reception hall leads to a formal dining room and a generous sitting room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace. The kitchen is a great size and connects directly to an existing annexe on the side of the house already configured with a large lounge, conservatory, double bedroom and Jack & Jill bathroom. With appropriate alterations, the kitchen could be adapted to provide independent facilities, making it well suited to multi generational living or guest use. There s also a separate study at the front of the house, offering further flexibility for home working or use as a bedroom. Upstairs, a galleried landing adds a sense of openness and leads to three bedrooms, including a light filled main bedroom with a triple aspect view across the gardens. There is a large walk in loft, which offers a wealth of storage space, or room to create another bedroom suite, subject to usual consents. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside The gardens are a real highlight, southerly facing, full of colour and offering a high degree of privacy. Wrapping around the house and opening up at the back, the plot includes a wide, gently sloping lawn bordered by mature trees, established shrubs and a mix of seasonal planting. It backs onto woodland, creating a peaceful and private outdoor space. A stone terrace sits just off the rear of the house, ideal for outdoor dining or a morning coffee in the sun. Beyond that, the garden has a relaxed, natural charm with informal planting, wildflowers and a wildlife pond that adds real character. A timber shed sits tucked away to one side, useful for storage. The garden backs onto private woodland. The property is approached via a private driveway with space for several vehicles, leading to a large detached garage for two to fours cars, and workshop. In all, the plot extends to approximately 0.66 acres 0.26 hectares , including the woodland.
