  • There may also be potential to reconfigure or extend the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations

Description

The Oaks is a highly individual detached residence built in the 1930s, situated on a mature and established plot of approximately 1.09 acres, including a further paddock of approximately 0.77 acres. The property has a red-brick construction with a tiled roof, traditional window detailing, and prominent chimney stacks. It features traditional reception areas that offer the potential to create both formal and informal living spaces, with rooms that could be sympathetically updated or reconfigured.

The property also includes a popular conservatory/garden room, paved terrace, and a log cabin. The mature gardens are largely laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees, planted beds, and informal pathways leading to various outbuildings. A rear paddock adds significantly to the property's versatility, extending the grounds to approximately 1.86 acres.
