Set within the sought-after village of Rockland St Mary, Alperton is a wonderfully established family home with an abundance of space, a generous plot and enormous potential for the next chapter.

The accommodation is particularly flexible, with the ground floor offering a spacious sitting room, separate dining room, study, kitchen, utility and cloakroom, alongside the impressive double integrated garage. There is also a useful sun room overlooking the garden and pool, providing a lovely connection with the outside.

Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, together with the family bathroom, make this an ideal layout for family life. For those requiring additional accommodation, the ground floor also provides scope to create bedrooms or guest accommodation adding yet more versatility to this future proof home.

Outside is where Alperton truly comes into its own. A generous frontage provides ample parking and access to the double garage, while the rear garden is an established and private haven. The swimming pool takes centre stage, surrounded by a broad terrace that is perfectly suited to summer entertaining and relaxed family days. Beyond the immediate garden lies a delightful, secluded orchard, while the land extending to the side provides further space and considerable versatility.
