Description

This distinctive four-bedroom home presents a unique blend of historical charm and contemporary style, making it an attractive prospect for both living and investment. The property features a generously sized driveway accommodating over eight vehicles, enhancing its appeal from the street. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway with solid oak flooring that flows through to the kitchen and dining spaces. The welcoming atmosphere is complemented by recently refreshed walls, traditional sash windows with stylish white shutters, and practical elements such as a cloakroom with automatic lighting. To the right of the entrance, you'll find a well-sized reception room perfect for relaxation or entertaining guests. It includes a working open fireplace paired with modern ceiling spotlights and ambient LED lighting behind the television for added comfort. The heart of this home is undoubtedly the bespoke kitchen, designed for both functionality and aesthetic appeal. It boasts elegant white granite worktops, top-of-the-line Siemens appliances including a comprehensive induction hob and dual ovens, making it ideal for family meals or gatherings. Sliding glass doors lead to an inviting rear garden where an outdoor BBQ station awaits, complete with polished concrete surfaces, perfect for alfresco dining. Outside, the garden serves as a private retreat featuring a substantial lawn and two outbuildings equipped with heating and bathrooms—ideal for guests or as potential work-from-home spaces. Additionally, there’s ample room for customisation within this outdoor setting to suit your lifestyle needs. Upstairs are four bedrooms finished with plush carpets and solid oak flooring alongside fitted wardrobes. The principal suite offers serene views over the garden and includes a luxury en-suite bathroom. The potential to enhance this space further cannot be overlooked; previous planning permission was granted (now lapsed) for a double-storey extension that would allow for significant reconfiguration opportunities including an additional primary suite. This property is not just about its current charm; it represents an exceptional opportunity to realise its full potential while enjoying all modern comforts today.
