Description

This four-bedroom detached residence, rooted in the 1920s, presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation or investment within a highly sought-after conservation area. Nestled on a generously sized private plot, the property features wooded gardens that border Whitfield Brook, yet remains conveniently close to the town center. Characterized by its distinctive architectural style and original period features, this home exudes charm while offering ample space for modern living. The interior layout is both spacious and functional, with significant potential for updating to suit contemporary tastes. The absence of an onward chain simplifies the transition for new owners looking to add their mark. Upon entering, you're welcomed by a classic entrance hall featuring an original staircase and a unique circular window that enhances natural light. The main living area boasts a bay window and French doors leading directly to the garden—perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying tranquil views of the brook beyond. A period fireplace adds warmth and character to this inviting space. The second reception room offers considerable versatility; it could serve as an elegant dining room or additional sitting area, complete with its own charming fireplace and fitted alcove units. The sizable dining kitchen retains original tiled flooring along with plenty of cabinetry and workspace—ideal for culinary enthusiasts who appreciate vintage aesthetics but may seek modern upgrades. Upstairs, a central landing leads to four bedrooms, each with unique features reflective of the era. The master bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and delightful views over the garden, while two additional well-proportioned double bedrooms also feature original fireplaces. A fourth bedroom provides charm with its eyebrow window—a quirky detail that contributes to the home's overall character. The family bathroom maintains its vintage appeal with original fixtures including a clawfoot bath, wash hand basin, and high-rise WC. Further potential lies in reimagining these spaces to enhance functionality while preserving historical detail. Outdoors, the expansive private plot is adorned with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. An attached half-brick outbuilding serves as a utility room but could be repurposed based on future needs. The rear garden descends to Whitfield Brook, creating a serene outdoor retreat bordered by nature. The sweeping driveway provides ample off-road parking options in addition to garage access. This property stands as a canvas ready for transformation—a rare opportunity in one of the area's prime locations for those looking to invest in both history and future potential.
