Description

Nestled away from the main road and surrounded by a serene woodland environment, this property presents a rare opportunity to acquire two interconnected dwellings that historically formed part of the early Fitzwilliam Estate. Available for the first time in three generations, it offers significant potential for renovation and investment. Currently registered as two separate homes, this property can be reconfigured into a spacious single-family residence or maintained as dual living spaces for multigenerational families. The layout includes five bedrooms situated on the first floor, with shared access in some areas, providing flexibility for various living arrangements. A comprehensive viewing is recommended to fully grasp the potential configurations available. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance with multiple porches leading to inviting communal areas. The principal lounge boasts considerable space and includes a charming stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Adjacent to this room is another lounge, creating an ideal area for relaxation and entertainment. The dining room exhibits period characteristics, offering semi-open access to the adjoining spaces, while the kitchen provides essential amenities including plumbing for laundry facilities. Renovation efforts have already begun, with several updates such as gas-fired central heating and uPVC double glazing installed throughout parts of the property. Additional amenities include a utility space and ground floor shower room, enhancing practicality for everyday living. Outside, the property extends beyond its main structures into generous grounds that house numerous outbuildings. These include a brick-built home office and modern garden room equipped with electricity—a perfect candidate for conversion into creative or recreational spaces. There are also carports and former stable blocks on site, highlighting further development opportunities. Accessed via an unmade lane that leads directly to the adjacent Potter Holes Plantation woodland, this property offers abundant parking options and additional workshop or storage facilities which could be revitalized according to personal requirements. While currently overgrown, the gardens present an exciting blank canvas for cultivation or landscaping based on individual preferences. Equipped with mains water, electricity, gas connections, and private drainage systems, this home is well-situated for contemporary living while providing ample groundwork for future enhancements. The freehold tenure adds further appeal to investors looking at long-term value within this unique setting.
