Property Details

What the Sellers Say:

Lovingly cared for by the current owners for the past 19 years, this home has been thoughtfully extended to meet the needs of a growing family. Energy efficiency has been a key focus: The house has been insulated with a Triso Super 10 blanket, exceeding recommended guidelines more than twofold, to ensure it stays warm in winter, cool in summer, and cost-efficient to run, while supporting sustainable living. The boiler and central heating system have been regularly serviced for peace of mind.
The property also includes a beautifully crafted, insulated summer house (less than two years old), complete with heating, electricity, and a reinforced steel tubular frame, designed to be enjoyed all year round. The low-maintenance garden features established shrubs, a gravel driveway, and leads to a double detached garage (less than three years old) with full electricity supply, making it ideal as a workshop, storage space, or for housing vehicles.
Inside, quality finishes stand out, including a bespoke, handmade solid oak staircase, oak doors, and easy-maintenance flooring throughout. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a practical, comfortable, and characterful home ready for its next chapter.
