The Oaklands is a handsome brick-built residence with historic links to the famous actor John Challis who played 'Boycie' in Only Fools and Horses and The Green Green Grass - the latter of which was filmed in part at The Oaklands.

There are two floors of spacious and adaptable accommodation with excellent potential for upgrading. The property sits in the middle of a considerable sized garden with plenty of room for vegetables, ponds and outdoor games.

The reception hall with stairway and cloakroom opens naturally to the dual aspect sitting room with electric fire and french doors to the garden. The dining room has a bay window overlooking the garden, a feature fireplace and wooden flooring. The kitchen features a wide array of wall and base oak cabinetry, also including a good store/pantry room. A flexible 22 ft. light-filled extension with a wall of fitted cupboards joins the kitchen going through to the back door, with access to the garage. This useful space could be used for a multitude of things; bikes, wet dogs, table tennis etc. On the first floor, the wide landing branches off to three well-proportioned bedrooms all served by a family bathroom. Both the principal and second bedroom enjoy a range of fitted wardrobes and elevated views. The third bedroom is currently being used as a study.
