What We Say at the Zoe Napier Group

This is a truly exceptional opportunity for the incoming buyer to put their own stamp on this superb property and expand its already impressive footprint (stp) to create a stunning family home. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the location is ideal, while the private grounds are magical, featuring an array of mature trees and shrubs and back onto enchanting woodland…the perfect setting for long walks and outdoor enjoyment.

What the owners say

We have lived here for 48 wonderful years, and it has been a privilege to raise our children in this home. When they were little, they loved nothing more than spending hours exploring in the adjoining woods. Leaving will be extremely difficult, but both our daughters are passionate equestrians, and we have found a property that suits their needs, so it is now time to allow another family to take on the baton and enjoy this special home and location.

History & Background

The property is believed to have been constructed in the early 1950’s, with latter additions in the 1970’s. The ground floor accommodation includies impressive sitting/ dining room, good size kitchen/ breakfast room, utility, study, family room/ bedroom 4 and shower room, whilst the first floor boasts three good size bedrooms and a further shower room.

Externally the 0.25 acres grounds (stls) really are a particular feature of the property, with larger than average single garage and ample off-street parking to the front, whilst the delightful rear grounds are superbly secluded via a plethora of hedged boundaries and back onto beautiful woodland.
