Description

This charming detached residence, affectionately named 'Serendipity', stands as a noteworthy opportunity for those seeking both comfort and investment potential. Constructed in the 1980s, this property is one of three homes nestled in the tranquil Stockwell Glen, providing a peaceful retreat while remaining close to local amenities. The home boasts spacious rooms with ample natural light, particularly in the expansive living area that opens out to a generous rear garden, ideal for family gatherings or quiet evenings. Having been cherished by the current owners for over 26 years, this house has served as a flexible multi-generational space, showcasing its versatility. While some areas may require updating to suit modern tastes, the solid foundation and design present an excellent canvas for renovation. The layout includes a welcoming entrance hall, a snug that can serve as an additional bedroom if needed, and an inviting living/dining room with views of the garden. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide plenty of space for family living or guest accommodation, with particular attention given to storage through fitted wardrobes. The main bathroom and en-suite are functional but could benefit from modernization. The outdoor area extends nearly 100 feet deep and offers privacy thanks to mature hedges—a perfect sanctuary for wildlife enthusiasts. The addition of a swimming pool enhances this property's appeal; however, potential buyers may wish to address maintenance issues related to it. Moreover, there are multiple outbuildings including an office and summer house that add value and could be reconfigured into usable spaces. With planning permission previously granted for extensions to enhance living space further (potentially converting outbuildings into annexes), this property invites creative thinkers ready to invest in making it their own or capitalize on its rental potential. This unique home deserves consideration from anyone looking to blend privacy with proximity to community conveniences.
