Description

This distinguished detached property, nestled within 2 acres of gardens and woodland adjacent to Willingdon Golf Club, presents a unique investment opportunity for those looking to create a customized family residence. With exquisite views across the South Downs and direct access to the golf course, this home offers an abundance of potential for refurbishment and modernization. Constructed over 60 years ago, it has been cherished by its owners and features notable additions like an indoor swimming pool and expansive double garages that could easily serve alternative uses such as gym facilities or a self-contained annex (subject to necessary approvals). The main accommodation comprises five spacious bedrooms, two dressing rooms ripe for conversion into additional ensuites, and several versatile living spaces including a formal sitting room bathed in natural light from large windows overlooking the serene landscape. The property's layout promotes both family living and entertaining, with ample room for upgrades in kitchen and bathrooms. Additionally, existing planning permissions could allow further development above the garage structures. This residence is not just a home; it's a canvas ready for your vision.
