The thoughtfully planned exterior spaces complement the home’s bold architectural design, creating a secluded and elegant setting in this highly desirable village location.
Steps rise to the main entrance, opening into the centrepiece of the home: an exceptional Kitchen/Breakfast Room, comprehensively refitted in 2021 to an outstanding standard. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the space features a sleek central island ideal for preparation or informal dining, alongside premium integrated appliances including a double oven, induction hob, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. A large skylight bathes the room in natural light, enhancing the sense of space and airiness.
To the right, the Lounge/Dining Room perfectly embodies modern open-plan living. Generously proportioned and versatile, it is well suited to both entertaining and relaxation. A striking dual-aspect feature fireplace provides a dramatic focal point and subtly defines the two areas, adding character. Two sets of bi-fold doors open directly onto the landscaped rear garden, seamlessly linking indoor and outdoor living and making the space ideal for social gatherings and alfresco dining.
The Principal Suite provides a peaceful retreat, featuring fitted wardrobes and direct access to a private balcony overlooking the grounds. The en-suite shower room is stylishly appointed with a corner shower, vanity wash hand basin and WC, creating a luxurious and calming environment.
Occupying the left wing of the property are three further double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with bi-fold doors opening onto a private patio area. All benefit from fitted wardrobes, offering excellent storage. One bedroom has been cleverly converted into a bespoke dressing room with custom cabinetry and shelving, though it can easily be reinstated as a fourth bedroom if required.
The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and is finished to a high standard, featuring a full-size bath, separate corner shower, WC and wash hand basin. Its generous proportions and modern fittings make it both functional and comfortable for family life and guests.
Outside, the gardens have been meticulously landscaped to provide privacy and tranquillity. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs, ensuring a secluded setting. A spacious patio area offers an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A further additional patio area is positioned to the side of the property offering further potential to extend or create a space to enjoy those tranquil evenings.
An additional outbuilding, currently used for storage, offers excellent potential for conversion into a home office, gym or studio, adding further flexibility to this already versatile home.

With its generous layout, secluded grounds and premium specification, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home, perfectly suited to families or those who enjoy entertaining.

Opening Bid and Reserve Price
This Property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price which in general will not be 10% more than the Opening Bid. The Reserve Price and Opening Bid can be subject to change. The Online Auction terms and conditions apply.
Comments
This property is offered for sale via Online Auction which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will not be exchanging contracts on the fall of the virtual hammer, but will be given 56 working days in which to exchange and complete the transaction from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the sellers solicitor.
By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, normal residential finance can be arranged. The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Auctioneer reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
The buyer will be required to give the Auctioneer authority to sign the Reservation Form on their behalf and to confirm acceptance of the Terms and Conditions prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation Form and all Terms and Conditions can be found in the Information Pack which can be downloaded from our website or requested from our Auctioneer.
Upon close of a successful auction, or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to make payment of a non-refundable Buyer's Premium of £28,500 including VAT, plus a buyer's administration charge of £396 including VAT, a total of £28,896. This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Any additional fees and charges over and above this will be confirmed within the terms and conditions available on the website.
The Buyer's Premium and buyer's administration charge are in addition to the final negotiated selling price.
All buyers will be required to verify their identity and provide proof of how the purchase will be funded.
Buyer's Administration Charge
If the Buyer Information Pack has been produced and provided by GOTO Group any successful purchaser will be required to pay £396 (including VAT) towards the cost of the preparation of the pack. These can then be used by your solicitor to progress the sale.
Buyer Fees
There are no other fees or charges payable to the Auctioneer however, there are other costs to consider such as:
- You will need a Solicitor to act for you during the conveyancing and your Solicitor will advise you in relation to the associated costs. If you do not have a Solicitor, we can recommend the services of one of our Panel Solicitors who are all selected for their expertise in Auction Transactions. Please call the number below for more information.
- Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is applicable if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. Please click here for more information.
Energy Performance Certificate(EPCs)
An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient.The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method.EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type.The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared.During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
