Description

This spacious four-bedroom detached home has been well-maintained by its owners for over three decades and presents a unique opportunity for renovation or investment. Nestled in a quiet enclave off Whitehill Road, this property shares its surroundings with just two other homes, providing a rare level of privacy while still being conveniently located. The layout begins with an inviting porch that opens into a hallway equipped with a cloakroom. The dual-aspect sitting room is bright and creates an airy ambiance, leading seamlessly into a formal dining area and an expansive conservatory featuring double doors that overlook the front garden. Adjacent to these spaces is a versatile study, ideal for remote work or additional guest accommodation. At the core of the house is a generously sized kitchen that combines breakfast and dining areas, complete with built-in appliances and a sizable breakfast island. The conservatory-style roof enhances the area with natural light, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings. A utility room offers practical access to the integral tandem double garage, which has significant potential for conversion into additional living space (subject to planning permission). On the upper floor, you will find four well-proportioned bedrooms. One bedroom currently functions as a dressing room, complete with fitted wardrobes that lead into the principal bedroom featuring its own en-suite shower room. A family bathroom caters to the remaining bedrooms. Outside, this property boasts ample gardens both at the front and back, adorned with established shrubs and trees. The front garden provides driveway access and garage entry along with a patio seating area, while the rear garden is tiered and includes various patios and artificial lawn areas—perfect for entertaining or simple relaxation. This home offers considerable potential for those looking to modernize or expand their living spaces according to personal tastes or needs. Its prime location not only ensures privacy but also places it within walking distance of local amenities such as shops and transport links; notably, the mainline station is nearby. Families will appreciate the proximity to reputable schools like Whitehill JMI School directly across the street, along with Kingshott private school within walking distance. This property's unique features combined with its potential make it an intriguing prospect for buyers seeking space and location advantages in their next investment.
