"Guide Price: £1,250,000 to £1,350,000. Oaklea is a substantial six-bedroom country home set within 12.5 acres of mature grounds and scope to modernise, no onward chain."
The Property
Approached via a long, sweeping driveway that winds gracefully through its own mature grounds, the house slowly emerges through a backdrop of established trees, an arrival that immediately sets the tone for the scale, privacy and quiet seclusion that define this impressive home.
Oaklea has been cherished as a much-loved holiday retreat for many years and now presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country residence with significant potential. Extending to approximately 12.5 acres (stms), the grounds are a defining feature, offering a natural sanctuary of calm and beauty. The land is richly wooded, creating a sense of shelter and intimacy, while a gently meandering stream forms a picturesque boundary that enhances both the outlook and the overall atmosphere.
The house itself provides extensive and versatile accommodation, thoughtfully arranged to suit both formal entertaining and relaxed day-to day living. A selection of elegant reception rooms offers flexibility, each enjoying generous proportions, excellent natural light and attractive views across the surrounding landscape.
The balance between refined character and comfortable practicality is evident throughout, allowing the property to adapt effortlessly to a variety of lifestyles.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. There are six well-proportioned bedrooms, four of which benefit from en suite facilities, ensuring a high level of comfort and privacy for family members and guests alike. The principal suite is particularly impressive, incorporating a dedicated dressing room alongside its en suite bathroom, creating a well-appointed and private retreat within the home.
Externally
Beyond the main house, a comprehensive range of outbuildings further enhances the appeal and flexibility of the property. These include a cart shed, traditional barns and extensive garaging, all of which offer excellent storage or clear potential for alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents. Of special note is the inclusion of a recording studio, a distinctive feature that opens up exciting possibilities for creative, leisure or professional pursuits.
While certain elements of the house would now benefit from light modernisation, this presents an excellent opportunity for an incoming purchaser to update and personalise the interiors to suit individual preferences. The existing layout, proportions and setting provide a strong foundation for enhancement, allowing the next owner to create a bespoke country home while retaining the property’s inherent charm and presence.
Properties that combine this level of space, privacy and adaptability are rarely available. Oaklea offers not just a residence, but a lifestyle opportunity, equally suited as a full-time home, a countryside retreat or a multi-generational living arrangement.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, Oaklea represents a compelling opportunity to secure a substantial and characterful home within an unspoilt rural setting, with the scope to further enhance and add value over time.
