Description
The defining feature of this property is the impressive size of the plot and the remarkable range of external accommodation. Homes offering this level of space and flexibility are rarely available. The generous frontage provides extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a large mechanical style garage, ideal for secure storage, workshop use or a variety of business purposes. To the rear, a further oversized garage and additional outbuildings significantly enhance the appeal, delivering exceptional space for those requiring workspace, trade facilities, vehicle storage or substantial ancillary accommodation.
The rear garden is equally impressive, offering a private and expansive outdoor setting with excellent potential. Whether enjoyed as a generous family garden or considered for future extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions, the scale of the plot provides flexibility that is hard to find.
Internally, the home has been updated and modernised in many areas, resulting in well-presented accommodation suited to contemporary living. The property further benefits from a brand new boiler installed in March 2026, providing added efficiency and peace of mind for prospective purchasers. The ground floor centres around an open-plan layout, creating a spacious and sociable environment ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a well appointed kitchen, while a bright conservatory to the rear offers an additional reception space overlooking the garden.
To the first floor, there are three well proportioned bedrooms, all offering comfortable accommodation, alongside a modern family bathroom suite.
This property successfully combines quality residential living with extensive external facilities, making it particularly attractive to purchasers seeking flexibility between home and work, or those simply desiring a substantial plot with significant outbuildings. It presents a rare chance to secure a home that offers both immediate practicality and long-term potential.
A distinctive opportunity where plot size, outbuildings and versatility are the defining features. Early viewing is highly recommended.
