Occupying a magnificent plot approaching an acre, this distinguished four-bedroom detached residence is a fine example of period elegance blended seamlessly with versatile family living and benefiting for being un-listed.

Externally, the property is approached via a substantial driveway providing extensive parking for numerous vehicles. The grounds are a true highlight of the home, with sweeping lawns, mature planting and a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion overlooking farmland. In addition, the property benefits from a generous detached barn and a detached single garage offering exceptional potential for storage, hobbies, garaging or further adaptation subject to the necessary consents. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly captivating period home in an idyllic setting, offering timeless charm, extensive accommodation and exceptional outdoor space.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
