An outstanding and rarely available opportunity to purchase this remarkable detached family residence, set within approximately 3.9 acres of private woodland.

This distinctive home effortlessly combines character and modern comfort, featuring beautiful exposed beams that add warmth and authenticity throughout. The grounds offer complete privacy and tranquillity, surrounded by natural beauty and regular visits from local wildlife, including deer. Panoramic woodland views create a peaceful retreat from daily life, yet the property remains within easy reach of excellent transport links.
