A substantial five bedroom property in a sought after village.

Description
This detached property is situated in a generous plot tucked away behind trees and hedges in the peaceful village of Great Offley. Believed to date back to the 1960s, the property has been extended several times but is in need of some modernisation, so would make a great project for a buyer looking to add their stamp. The extraordinary far-reaching views to the rear are a major highlight and can be enjoyed from all of the key living spaces, including the property’s five bedrooms.

The property is accessed via a short track off the High Street and a large gravel drive enclosed by hedges, which has space for several vehicles. The secluded rear garden boasts stunning views across rolling countryside, with horses often making an appearance in the neighbouring field.
