Description

This intriguing period residence offers a rare investment opportunity with its combination of a historic village house, an adjoining three-bedroom cottage, an apartment, and a converted barn, all situated on approximately 2.28 acres. The main house, constructed in the Queen Anne style around 1725 and classified as Grade II listed, features distinctive mellow brickwork and decorative purple brick accents. Despite undergoing significant renovations by the current owner, further restoration is needed to enhance its original grandeur. The entrance hall leads to a dining area equipped with an attractive fireplace and dual window seats overlooking the front garden. Adjacent is the drawing room with its impressive inglenook fireplace, perfect for cozy gatherings. The morning room opens onto a south-facing terrace and features elegant details like a high mantelpiece and an ESSE wood burning stove. The kitchen is functional yet could be modernized, offering ample space for dining. Notably, there exists potential for conversion of the family/hobbies room into four holiday let units—previous planning permission has lapsed but could be revisited. Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom alongside three additional bedrooms that share a family bathroom featuring original fixtures. An independent staircase provides access to the loft apartment's two double bedrooms and living areas, which could enhance rental income possibilities. Further on the property is the spacious cottage with its own reception area leading into a well-equipped kitchen and dining space, plus several bedrooms with ensuites. The barn adds value with its potential as a separate rental unit or accommodation for relatives. The grounds feature mature gardens with various ornamental trees and outdoor spaces ripe for landscaping enhancements alongside charming outbuildings including an old Granary that holds potential for conversion into a garden studio or workspace (subject to planning). With approximately 2.28 acres available to explore and develop, this property invites creative renovation ideas to maximise its investment potential.
