About
Introduction A detached four-bedroom chalet-style residence set on a generous 0.23-acre plot in a highly sought-after non-estate location, enjoying open countryside views and a peaceful semi-rural setting, while also having potential to develop further.
Step Inside The accommodation begins with an entrance porch leading to a central hallway and into a spacious triple-aspect living room, flooded with natural light and offering far-reaching views across open fields.
The kitchen/breakfast room is both practical and sociable, fitted with bespoke solid wood wall and base units and providing ample space for dining.
This area flows seamlessly into a substantial conservatory, creating a versatile semi open-plan living space with French doors opening onto the rear garden.
The ground floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, served by a recently installed family bathroom featuring a fully tiled suite with bath and shower over, vanity unit, heated towel rail, and tiled flooring.
To the first floor are two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from generous eaves storage, along with a WC serving the upstairs accommodation.
Step Outside Externally, the property offers excellent outside space. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with low-level hedging, while a large gravel driveway provides extensive off-road parking.
Double gated access leads to an additional driveway and car port, ideal for larger vehicles or secure parking.
The expansive rear garden offers a high degree of privacy and is ideal for family use, gardening, or outdoor entertaining.
This home also boasts 14 solar panels, significantly enhancing its energy efficiency and achieving an impressive EPC, appealing to eco-conscious buyers seeking long-term energy savings.
A substantial detached outbuilding is located to the rear of the plot, offering exceptional potential for conversion (STTP). Ideal for use as an annexe, home office, studio, or workshop.
