The combination of views over a private lake, orchard areas, pastureland, and woodland creates a unique environment that supports both relaxation and productive land use.



The House - The main residence is immaculately presented and arranged over two floors, offering generous and well-balanced accommodation.

At its heart is a large open-plan kitchen and dining space designed for modern living, complemented by a substantial living room with direct access to the gardens and views towards the lake.

The layout provides flexibility for both family life and entertaining, with five well- proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a convenient ground-floor wet room.

The property flows naturally from interior to exterior spaces, with multiple access points leading onto terraces, gardens and the wider grounds.

Importantly, the property has no energy costs other than electricity, eliminating the need for oil, gas or other fuel sources.

* Ground source heat pump system
* Solar panels supporting daytime energy usage
* Battery storage system allowing energy to be stored and used efficiently
* EV charging point
* Access to low-cost overnight electricity tariffs (circa 5p per kWh), ideal for charging both the battery storage system and electric vehicles
* Energy Performance Rating: B
* Approximate total annual energy costs: £2,000 (approximately £180 per month, including vehicle charging)

This integrated system allows the property to maximise energy efficiency by combining solar generation, stored energy usage and low-cost overnight tariffs. The result is a highly efficient, future proofed home with controlled and predictable running costs.

* Timber storage building suitable for equipment or livestock use

The pump house in particular offers significant potential for alternative uses, subject to the necessary permissions being sought.

There are primary and secondary schools in the locality and the property is within the catchment area for several grammar schools.

This balance of accessibility and seclusion is a key component of the property’s appeal.
