This expansive country residence features seven bedrooms and offers significant renovation and investment potential on approximately 2.1 acres of land, accompanied by a coach house and various outbuildings. Originally constructed in the mid-19th century, this unlisted family home has been improved over nearly three decades, but there remains ample opportunity for further modernization to suit contemporary living.
The property is designed over two levels, providing generous lateral space with well-proportioned rooms. The main entrance opens to a grand hallway that leads into four spacious reception areas. The drawing room, featuring an elegant bay window, and the adjoining dining room can be combined for entertaining or separated as needed, both benefiting from tall ceilings and large windows that frame stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
At the eastern side of the house lies a large country kitchen equipped with shaker-style cabinetry and blue lias stone flooring, which connects to a cozy snug that includes a feature fireplace. Additional practical spaces such as a utility room, study, larder, and two WCs are also located on the ground floor. The western end houses a large dual-aspect study added by the current owners, further enhancing living options.
The upper floor is accessible via two staircases and hosts five sizable bedrooms serviced by three bathrooms. The principal suite stands out with its position within the bay window, offering breathtaking views along with fitted storage and an en suite bathroom.
The grounds of this property are equally noteworthy; they encompass beautifully landscaped gardens with mature borders and flower beds alongside open lawn areas for relaxation or play. A separate paddock adds versatility to the outdoor space, while several outbuildings—currently serving as storage—offer potential for conversion into additional accommodation or functional spaces subject to obtaining planning permissions.
Notably, the former coach house presents itself as an ideal candidate for modernization into guest quarters or rental accommodation, creating opportunities for passive income.
