The Property - A beautifully remodelled and extensively refurbished large detached family home with an impressive self-contained annexe, finished throughout to an exceptionally high standard. The current owners purchased the property seven years ago and have since transformed it through a comprehensive programme of improvements, including complete electrical rewiring, restored and cleaned external stonework, and a new domestic sewerage treatment plant.

The remodeling has significantly enhanced both the layout and the flow of the home, most notably with the creation of a fabulous open plan kitchen/dining/family room, a stunning contemporary space ideal for modern living and entertaining. A side extension provides a practical utility room and cloakroom, while the attic has been converted into a superb bedroom suite complete with dressing room and a luxury en-suite bath/shower room.

The annexe is a standout feature, a genuine tardis, offering generous, beautifully presented accommodation, finished to the same exacting high standards. Ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or potential rental income.

Outside - Electric gates open onto a large gravelled driveway providing extensive parking. The beautiful gardens are predominantly lawned, framed by mature hedging and a variety of specimen trees. The plot extends to approximately 0.75 acres, with the surrounding countryside enhancing the sense of space, privacy, and tranquility.

Further benefits include a greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, a substantial timber shed with twin opening doors, power and lighting, together with a separate metal shed providing secure storage for a sit-on lawn mower.

General - Mains water and electric are connected. An oil fired boiler provides domestic hot water and central heating, with an underfloor wet system throughout, with the exception of the top floor bath/shower room which has underfloor electric heating. A domestic sewerage treatment plant has also been installed. All windows and doors have been replaced, with a mix of aluminum and UPVC, all double glazed, in anthracite grey. Council Tax Band G - £4,044.42 for 2026/27. EPC rating C - 68. NB: Annexe has a separate oil fired combination boiler and an EPC rating C - 73.
