This charming detached residence features four bedrooms and is set on an expansive 1.5-acre lot, surrounded by established gardens. The property has been a cherished family home for many years, presenting a unique opportunity for those looking to renovate and invest in a space with considerable development potential.
The entrance is marked by a sweeping driveway that provides ample parking. Upon entering the home, you are welcomed by original quarry tile flooring, leading to two versatile reception rooms. One room serves as a cozy sitting/dining area complete with an open fireplace, while the other lounge boasts French doors opening onto a sun patio and the lush garden beyond.
To the left of the hallway lies a convenient downstairs cloakroom and an inviting kitchen/diner featuring a built-in AGA and additional fitted units. This layout flows into further kitchen space equipped with an integrated hob and oven, with access to the rear gardens.
A wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which comprises four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom connects to bedroom four, creating opportunities for use as a dressing room, nursery, or en-suite area if desired. The remaining bedrooms enjoy views over the surrounding countryside, enhancing their appeal.
Externally, this property is discreetly set back from the road amidst mature trees and shrubs. The spacious grounds include landscaped gardens and a sun terrace ideal for outdoor dining. Planning authorities have indicated that this large plot may be suitable for further residential development (subject to local planning permission), making it particularly attractive for investors.
