This distinctive Victorian property, once serving as a rectory, is set on spacious private grounds and presents an exciting renovation opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a versatile family home. The residence boasts traditional period features, including original pitch pine details, while also requiring modern updates to unlock its full potential. Entering through an evocative vestibule, you are greeted by a grand hallway that leads into several substantial reception areas: a formal drawing room, an inviting sitting room, and a dedicated study, along with a kitchen/dining space that provides cellar access. The light-filled sun lounge/conservatory enhances the ground floor layout further. It is worth noting the practicality of this level with its additional shower room and convenient rear hall connection.
On the first floor, you will find five generous double bedrooms surrounding an elegant galleried landing. The principal bedroom includes a dressing room that holds promise for conversion into an en-suite bathroom. Additional family amenities include a shared bathroom and another shower room. The uppermost level contains two flexible rooms capable of serving as offices or creative spaces.
A significant feature of this property is the self-contained annexe offering independent living accommodations complete with its own kitchenette and bathroom—ideal for guests or generating rental income.
The detached coach house currently stands in derelict condition but represents a remarkable opportunity for redevelopment; previous planning indicated the potential for conversion into a two-bedroom cottage or it could serve as an exceptional workshop or garage (subject to planning permission).
Surrounded by expansive grounds primarily laid to lawn and featuring additional outbuildings previously utilized for holiday letting, Ashleigh House not only promises privacy but also remarkable investment potential—a perfect chance for those willing to engage in imaginative renovations.
