Nestled in the tranquil village of Knowle, this property enjoys a secluded position within almost half an acre of level garden, providing ample privacy and potential for enhancement. This home is being offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years, highlighting its long-standing appeal.
The property boasts three generous reception rooms, including a sitting room with an inviting open fireplace, a large living room with triple aspect windows offering views of the lush gardens, and a dining room that accommodates family gatherings comfortably. The well-appointed kitchen breakfast room serves as the heart of the home with ample space for culinary activities.

On the first floor, you will find a spacious master bedroom with an en suite shower room and access to a substantial balcony terrace that overlooks the garden. Four additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family living or future reconfiguration into guest accommodations or rental opportunities, subject to planning permissions. An attic store adds further versatility to the space.
The property's outdoor spaces are particularly noteworthy, featuring mature gardens filled with established plants and trees, creating secluded areas perfect for relaxation or entertainment. A timber garden bar complements the outdoor setting, while a hen house area offers potential for self-sustainability. The extensive grounds allow for various landscaping possibilities and further development within existing boundaries.
With its generous proportions and versatile layout, 'Greystokes' could easily be adapted into multiple living arrangements or an Airbnb-style setup after necessary approvals. The attached garage/workshop provides additional storage options or can be repurposed as an annexe or separate workspace.
