Description

This impressive four-bedroom detached house, featuring three bathrooms and four reception areas, presents significant renovation potential. Located on a sought-after plot in the Woodcote Estate, the property enjoys a south-facing orientation that enhances its appeal for outdoor living. The main structure includes an inviting entrance hall, a spacious living room with bi-fold doors leading to the terrace, and an Orangery that provides additional natural light. A notable feature is the separate 1,150 sq ft building housing a double garage and an indoor swimming pool complex, which could be transformed into a self-contained annex or entertainment space with some thoughtful refurbishment. While various updates have been made over time—including replacement windows—the interior may benefit from modernizing to fully realize its investment value. The expansive gardens—both front and back—offer great landscaping possibilities amidst mature hedging. This property not only holds charm but also exhibits an array of options for enhancements that could significantly increase its market worth.
