This substantial family residence, set in the sought-after area of Rodborough Common, presents a fantastic opportunity for renovation and investment. The home boasts generous proportions and an abundance of natural light, complemented by charming character features such as high ceilings and original fireplaces. The layout is conducive to both comfortable living and entertaining, making it an ideal candidate for modernisation.
Upon entering, a spacious reception hall offers views through to the garden and valley beyond. The ground floor features parquet and boarded flooring that adds warmth to its elegant flow. The drawing room is particularly appealing with its magnificent stone mullion windows that frame picturesque garden views; a wood-burning stove enhances its appeal as a cosy retreat.
The separate dining room opens onto a sheltered outdoor seating area that encourages alfresco dining. The kitchen, with dual aspect views, is fitted with ample storage and includes a central island for informal meals but may benefit from updates to optimise space and functionality.
The upper floors host six bedrooms distributed over two levels, including one currently utilised as a home office. Each bedroom has been designed for comfort and incorporates practical storage solutions. Notably, the two rear-facing bedrooms offer breathtaking views across the valley.
There is considerable potential to extend the property at the rear or perhaps create an orangery or expanded kitchen area (subject to planning permissions), enhancing both living space and value.
The grounds extend to nearly an acre with gently sloping lawns and established vegetable plots that support self-sufficiency aspirations. A pond teeming with wildlife further enriches this outdoor environment. Additionally, there’s the unique feature of a bespoke Shepherd's Hut at the bottom of the garden alongside a converted horse box shower room/WC; this presents an immediate income opportunity through Airbnb rental given its current successful use by the vendors.
Overall, while this property holds many character assets, it also calls out for thoughtful renovation to unlock its full potential.
