Imagine waking up to the sight of beautiful woodland and the sound of nothing but birdsong. Nestled within approximately 3.5 acres of private grounds, this unique three-bedroom detached home offers a lifestyle rarely found on the market. From its "Hygena" lime-green retro kitchen to the stunning bluebell woods, this property is a perfect canvas for those looking to create a bespoke country estate.



Interior: Mid-Century Charm and Generous Proportions


The heart of the home is an expansive 'L' shaped living and dining room. Flooded with natural light thanks to its double aspect, the room features a classic York stone fireplace and original wood block flooring. It’s a space designed for gazing out across the formal gardens toward the woods.



The ground floor also hosts:


  • The Kitchen: A nostalgic nod to 70s design with lime-green cabinetry and integrated appliances.



  • Principal Bedroom: A triple-aspect retreat with direct access to the rear garden via PVCu double-glazed doors.



  • Utility & Larder: Essential for country living, including a dedicated utility room and a traditional walk-in larder.


Upstairs, the potential continues. Bedroom Two is so spacious and well-lit that it could easily be converted into two separate rooms, providing a fourth bedroom if required. Upstairs benefits from stunning views of the garden.



The Grounds: A Private Park-Like Setting


The true "wow factor" of this property lies beyond the back door. The 3.5-acre plot is divided into two distinct experiences:

  1. The Formal Gardens: A gently sloping, manicured lawn edged by mature shrubs and a paved patio—perfect for summer entertaining.

  2. The Bluebell Woods: A private, enchanted woodland filled with meandering paths and leafy glades. In the spring, the forest floor is transformed into a sea of violet.


Outbuildings and Modern Comforts


While the home retains its vintage character, it is equipped with modern essentials including solar panels, double glazing, and oil-fired heating. For the hobbyist or car enthusiast, the property includes:


  • A double-width garage with a remote-controlled door.

  • A solid block-built workshop with power and light.

  • A greenhouse and timber shed for the green-fingered.



Summary of Features

  • Total Acreage: 3.5 Acres (including private woodland).

  • Bedrooms: 3 (with potential for 4).

  • Eco-Features: Solar panels and double glazing.

  • Location: Private access with a secondary gate to Ockley Lane.

Agent's Note: This property offers significant scope to extend or reimagine the layout (subject to necessary consents). It is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial plot in a prime rural location.
