Five bedrooms, a huge garden and a stream running behind it…

Looking for a family home with serious amounts of space and a little bit of nature thrown in?

Tucked away in a peaceful village, this substantial five-bedroom detached home has loads of space, a huge garden, a stream at the back and plenty of potential to put your own stamp on it.

At around 2,075 sq ft, there’s no shortage of elbow room here — whether you've got a growing family, regular guests, hobbies that have taken over the house, or you simply like having a bit of breathing space.

And outside, things get even better.

A garden that's actually big enough to enjoy
The huge garden is one of the property's standout features. There's room here for children to run, dogs to explore, entertaining, gardening, relaxing — or all of the above without everyone being on top of each other.

Running behind the garden is a stream, providing the gentle sound of running water and attracting plenty of local wildlife. Sit out with a coffee and you may find yourself watching more than just the weather. You might even spot some rather unusual visitors from the nearby fish farm!

It's the sort of outdoor space that gives you a genuine sense of being surrounded by nature, while still having all the practicalities of village life close by.

Room for everyone — and then some
Inside, the house is just as generous.

There are two reception rooms, giving you plenty of flexibility. One could be the grown-ups' room, the family room, a home office, a playroom… or simply somewhere to escape when someone puts the TV on something you really don't want to watch.

Upstairs are five bedrooms, so there’s space for family, guests, teenagers, home working or that increasingly ambitious collection of things you swear you'll get around to sorting one day.

There are also two bathrooms, which should make mornings considerably less like a military operation.

Village life without feeling cut off
Despite its peaceful setting, you're not miles from civilisation. The village has a fabulous local pub — perfect for a drink, a bite to eat and the all-important village catch-up — along with a village hall for local events and community life.

And while the setting feels wonderfully rural, the house hasn't been left behind in the modern world. There's an EV charger already installed, along with super-fast FTTP broadband.

The property also benefits from oil heating, mains electricity and mains water.

The bottom line
This is a big house with a big garden in a peaceful village setting, with the added bonus of a stream running behind the property and plenty of local wildlife to keep things interesting.

It's spacious without feeling soulless, peaceful without being completely off the map, and offers plenty of scope to create a home that works around your life.

Basically, if you've been searching for somewhere with room to grow, space to breathe and a garden that doesn't end three steps beyond the patio… this could be worth a look.
