This is a unique chance to secure a forever home with room to grow.

From the moment you arrive, Oak View makes a lasting first impression.

Set well back from the main road and tucked behind a sweeping private driveway, this home enjoys a sense of exclusivity and tranquillity that is hard to match. A detached double garage, extensive parking, and the expanse of mature gardens instantly showcase the scale and privacy of this remarkable plot.

Step inside, and the feeling of space continues.

A bright and wide entrance hall welcomes you with impressive natural light flowing down from overhead Velux windows — a wonderful introduction to the expansive layout that awaits. From here, the home flows seamlessly into multiple reception and bedroom spaces, perfectly balancing openness and practicality.

The show-stopping living room spans an incredible 27ft x 22ft, creating a truly luxurious space for relaxation or entertaining. Dual-aspect windows overlook the beautiful gardens, while a gas fire provides a charming focal point and cosy warmth during the winter months. Whether hosting large gatherings or enjoying peaceful evenings in, this room delivers versatility in abundance.

At the heart of the home is a custom-designed dining kitchen, expertly installed by the highly regarded craftsman joiners, Thwaites of Carlisle. Offering extensive cabinetry, generous worktops and a selection of integrated appliances, this kitchen has been carefully configured for busy family life as well as joyful occasions. The views from here stretch across the rear lawn toward open countryside — a perfect backdrop as you cook, dine and socialise.

A separate utility room is positioned just beyond, providing superb storage, additional work surfaces and a second sink — ideal for keeping the main kitchen clear and organised. A rear hall leads out to the garden and provides access to a large walk-in pantry and a convenient WC — thoughtful additions that make everyday living effortless.

The master suite is nothing short of luxurious — a 16ft x 16ft bedroom with sliding doors that open directly into the garden, allowing you to step out with your morning coffee and enjoy the sunrise. A private dressing room fully fitted with bespoke Thwaites cabinetry leads through to a stylish en-suite shower room, designed with comfort, practicality and elegance in mind.

All three further bedrooms are generously sized double rooms, each filled with natural light and offering plenty of floor space for furniture. One enjoys its own en-suite — excellent for guests, teenagers or extended family.

The family bathroom is a genuine centrepiece — a five-piece luxury suite that would rival any boutique hotel. A freestanding bathtub invites you to soak in style, while a large walk-in rainfall shower caters to everyday convenience. Twin vanity sinks, concealed-cistern WC, high-end finishes, LED mood lighting and premium flooring create a spa-like escape you’ll never want to leave.
