Description

This former village doctor's residence presents a rare opportunity for transformation, hitting the market for the first time since the 1950s. Spanning approximately 4,000 sq ft, this detached six-bedroom home is situated on an impressive plot of around 0.57 acres. With full planning permission granted for an additional 2,300 sq ft four-bedroom, three-bathroom house complete with a garage on-site, the investment potential here is substantial. The existing property features expansive accommodation with various rooms that can be reconfigured to enhance its layout and functionality. Notable amenities include abundant driveway parking and a double garage with a generous room above. The grounds include well-kept gardens primarily located to the side and rear, providing a delightful outdoor aspect. With planning approval awarded last year for a new build that promises to feature a spacious kitchen-diner-family room alongside modern bedrooms and bathrooms, this property allows for creative renovation endeavors or new development altogether. Access to local amenities in Sonning Common is excellent, with essential services within reach including healthcare facilities and shops catering to daily needs. Educational institutions at both primary and secondary levels are nearby, alongside good transport links to Reading and Henley-on-Thames as well as direct access to major motorways. For those intrigued by unique potential in a charming village setting, viewing is highly recommended. Please note that while there are existing gas central heating capabilities, the system is currently non-functional; mains water and electrics are available along with a septic tank waste system. Details regarding any CIL tax liabilities or covenants can be acquired from the estate agent.
