This versatile detached chalet, is set in a plot of approximately 0.36 acres surrounded by mature trees. It has flexible accommodation over two floors, a two-bedroom static mobile home and a large range of outbuildings, so it would suit multi-generational living, home-based businesses or anyone needing space for vehicles, hobbies and storage.

The entrance hall has wide-plank oak flooring, which runs through much of the ground floor. At the rear is a living room of over 17ft, with a wood-burning stove set in an exposed brick recess and French doors opening onto the terrace and garden. The kitchen has solid oak units, granite worktops, a central island with built-in wine rack, Bosch double ovens and a stable door to the garden. An arched opening leads through to a formal dining room overlooking the grounds.

Also on the ground floor are a double bedroom with bay window, a dedicated home office, a separate WC, and a family bathroom with a whirlpool bath and separate shower enclosure.

Upstairs are two substantial double bedrooms. The principal bedroom measures nearly 22ft and is served by an en-suite shower room. There is also useful eaves and landing storage.

In the grounds is a two-bedroom static mobile home with its own entrance hall, living room, kitchen, bathroom and separate WC. It needs refurbishment, but the local authority has approved replacement ancillary accommodation, a useful opportunity for buyers looking to create space for extended family or guests.

Outside, a large gravel driveway gives parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a weatherboarded outbuilding range under a clay-tiled roof. This includes a double garage, a workshop and a store room. There are also a further detached garage, a second large store room and a log store. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are framed by mature oaks, a weeping willow, conifers and cordylines, with patio seating areas alongside the house and mobile home.
