The town itself offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities along with doctors', dentists', veterinary surgeries, places of worship and a Waitrose supermarket.

Description - A rare opportunity to acquire a versatile detached property with generous accommodation over split levels, set in a private position with far reaching rural outlooks. The property was constructed by a local family in the early 1970's, securing the generous plot with favourable views overlooking its own paddock and front and rear gardens. Constructed in a traditional way with a mixture of block and brick, and both uPVC and wooden windows, the property has remained within the family for over 50 years and is now offered for sale to the open market for the very first time. In addition, the paddock had PIP granted in April 2025 for residential development. The property would ideally suit families and couples, along with developers looking for opportunities near the town.
Accommodation - The accommodation has been designed to take advantage of the southerly facing aspect with rural outlooks across the valley and over the paddock. Offering spacious accommodation throughout with scope for those looking to personalize with a touch of cosmetic refurbishment, there remains further scope with a generous light and spacious lower ground floor with access to the rear garden, which is currently being used as a games room. Directly from the driveway are two entrances into the main hall and the utility room. The utility has a range of units with ample space and plumbing for white goods. The kitchen is adjacent, with a range of base and wall mounted units, an electric oven, space for a dishwasher and a pantry. The sitting room enjoys a rural aspect with a large window to one end and a centrally positioned wood burning stove. From the sitting room, a door opens onto a charming covered veranda, providing an ideal spot to relax and take in the delightful views. On this level is further room currently used as a bedroom with doors out to the veranda, offering scope to be used as a separate snug/dining room, dependent on personal requirements.
Steps lead down to the rest of the accommodation with 3 double bedrooms, with a generous en-suite bathroom to the principal bedroom. There is ample storage throughout the property with various cupboards in the hallway, with an additional cloakroom and separate family bathroom servicing the remainder of the bedrooms.
Outside - The property is approached via Kingswood Meadow and set amongst its own private wraparound gardens. There is ample off road parking and turning space, with lawned gardens allowing for further parking if needed. There is a generous double garage with sliding front door and a separate storage room. The gardens extend to the far end of the property with a pathway that leads to the side and rear gardens, bounded by a natural stone wall. The paddock is gently sloping with a mature tree hedge boundary along the bottom and accessed via two separate entrances from Kingswood Meadow.
Services - Mains electricity, water and drainage. Oil fired central heating and wood burning stove. Broadband availability: Ultrafast, Superfast and Standard ADSL, Mobile signal: voice and data available (Ofcom). Please note the agents have not inspected or tested these services.
