Description

This exceptional detached residence, dating back to 1855, is nestled within a private estate set on approximately 0.6 acres of lush grounds surrounded by open countryside. While it showcases a unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities, there exists significant potential for renovation and value enhancement. The property boasts an inviting entrance with a front porch leading into a spacious hallway that transitions into a main lounge characterized by traditional exposed beams and large windows that invite natural light and scenic views from the side garden. Currently utilized as a home gym, the secondary reception room offers versatile usage options; this space also connects to a dedicated study area equipped with custom shelving. At the core of the home lies an impressive open-plan living and dining area seamlessly integrated with a bespoke kitchen featuring quality cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, making it perfect for modern family life or entertaining. With five generously sized bedrooms upstairs—two of which include en suites—there’s ample accommodation for family or guests alongside a stylish family bathroom designed for comfort. The outdoor space is equally noteworthy, providing meticulously landscaped gardens that serve as an ideal retreat. The oversized double garage presents the possibility of conversion into an annexe subject to necessary planning permissions, enhancing the property's investment appeal. Additionally, features like brick outbuildings provide extra utility as storage or workshop facilities. This property presents several avenues for improvement and investment, making it genuinely one-of-a-kind in its potential.
