5 bedroom detached house for sale

Nestled on an elevated plot of 0.44 acres just a few hundred yards from the village church, this exceptional family home is a rare find. A large outbuilding provides a wealth of opportunities.

The beautifully maintained gardens enjoy a predominantly south-facing aspect. Mature fruit trees, well-kept lawns, and vibrant planting provide a delightful backdrop, while a heated outdoor swimming pool adds a touch of luxury and the perfect setting for entertaining or family fun. Beyond the double garage, a substantial timber workshop and a collection of outbuildings offer excellent versatility for hobbies, storage, or even a home office.

Inside, the accommodation is equally impressive. The heart of the home is a generous kitchen-diner, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A light-filled conservatory connects the house with the gardens, while three further reception rooms provide flexible spaces for family gatherings, relaxation, or working from home. Upstairs, five bedrooms offer comfort and character, accompanied by a family bathroom and an additional shower room.
