Kings Stag

A Countryside Playground for the Whole Family – 1.22 Acres of Adventure in King’s Stag:-

Situated at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in the small village of King’s Stag, this welcoming detached home offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and countryside charm for family life.

From the moment you step inside, the generous entrance hall draws you into a warm and inviting sitting room, where a wood-burner glows in the fireplace – the perfect gathering spot on cosy winter evenings. There’s a separate dining room for special family meals, and a third reception room ready to become a playroom, homework hub, or snug retreat. The bright kitchen/breakfast room, with its ample cupboards and built-in appliances, is made for busy mornings and supported by a handy utility and cloakroom. Upstairs, four double bedrooms ensure everyone has their own space, with the principal suite enjoying fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite with a Jacuzzi bath for some well-earned grown-up indulgence. The property also boasts wholly owned solar panels, helping the environment and reducing outgoings.

Outside, a double garage and plenty of parking open into 1.22 acres of family-friendly land that’s as much an adventure playground as it is a garden. The formal lawn is dotted with fruit trees for summer picking, while the horticultural area invites you to grow your own vegetables or keep a few chickens. A grassy meadow, hazel copse, and ornamental trees create endless places for hide-and-seek, and the wildlife pond brings nature right to your doorstep – from owls and buzzards to visiting deer and their fawns. Whether it’s building dens, splashing in the pond, or stargazing on clear nights, this is a home where childhood can be lived to the fullest and family memories are made every day.
