Originally constructed in the 1930s, Oakmere has been tastefully extended and modernised over the years, blending period charm with contemporary comfort. Its elevated setting not only provides privacy but also panoramic views across the surrounding landscape, while remaining within easy walking distance of the village amenities, including the railway station. It may also appeal to families with the selection of well regarded local schooling that is available.

Internally, the side entrance opens into a welcoming hallway with oak flooring, stairs rising to the first floor and a feature porthole window. There are two well-proportioned reception rooms: A lounge with bay window, log-burning stove and French doors framing the view, and a large dining room with wooden shutters and access through to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is fitted with sleek gloss units, solid wood worktops and a full range of integrated appliances, while also enjoying superb garden outlooks.

Additional ground floor spaces include a front entrance porch, a practical utility room, and a versatile room converted from the original garage — ideal as a cinema, home office or hobby room, with an adjoining storage area.

Upstairs, a central landing provides access to four good sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes a period fireplace and captivating views, while two further doubles benefit from modern en-suite shower rooms. A fourth bedroom is currently used as a study/dressing room but also offers a good sized single. The stylish house bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a white three-piece suite including a p-shaped bath, over head shower, low flush toilet and surface mounted wash basin.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an idyllic outdoor retreat. A spacious Indian stone patio provides an ideal entertaining space, leading down to a lawned area with multiple timber sheds, additional seating zones, and a charming wooden cabin — the perfect vantage point to soak in the reservoir views. Externally to the front there are two driveway parking areas accessed from Longlands Road, providing off-road parking for up to four vehicles.

The property also benefits from gas central heating, under floor heating to the kitchen, uPVC double glazing, solar panels, electric car charging point, and all mains services. It is offered on a freehold basis.
