Description

This distinctive property, nestled within a generous 0.61-acre plot, offers an exciting renovation opportunity for those looking to infuse modern touches while respecting its unique character. Originally designed to capture breathtaking views, the home showcases architectural features from its era, including a striking vaulted ceiling and solid wood archways. While it is equipped with double glazing and oil-fired central heating, new owners can envision personal enhancements throughout the space over time. The interior presents versatile living spaces such as a spacious porch that doubles as a sunroom, numerous reception rooms that provide garden views, and a bright conservatory ideal for extending leisure activities outdoors. The considerable kitchen/breakfast room is ready for updates with modern appliances already in place. The layout encourages creativity; the basement garage could be repurposed into additional living quarters or a productive home office. Upstairs lies ample accommodation with four sizable bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage and captivating views. While the property requires updates—particularly in bathrooms and decorative finishes—the potential to create an inviting family home or investment property is significant. The outdoor area boasts well-established gardens waiting for imaginative landscaping ideas to unlock their full potential. With off-road parking options and access on foot to both sides of the house, this property stands as an excellent opportunity for families or garden enthusiasts looking to blend indoor comfort with outdoor enjoyment.
