Freehold
Description
This detached house occupies a glorious setting on the outskirts of a popular village, with superb views over the adjoining countryside. On the open market for the first time since it was built in the 1950s, the property would benefit from modernisation and offers scope for extension (subject to the relevant permissions).
The accommodation extends to about 1,380 sqft, with an entrance hall leading to a 20ft sitting room and a dual-aspect dining room, both enjoying views over the gardens. The kitchen features an oil-fired Stanley cooker and gives access to a lean-to conservatory and WC.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two dual-aspect double bedrooms and a bathroom with separate WC, with both bedrooms taking in attractive countryside views.
A particular feature of the property is its delightful, established gardens and grounds of around 0.6 acre, mainly laid to lawn with a small area of woodland. A five-bar gate opens onto a private drive with off-road parking in front of a large detached garage (18ft x 14ft). The gardens are well kept, with mature shrubs and trees, a well-stocked rockery, a small summer house, a greenhouse, and an oil tank, all enjoying lovely views over the surrounding countryside.
An excellent opportunity to acquire a detached home with scope for improvement, offered for sale with no onward chain.
