Description

Introducing Pool House Farm, a detached farmhouse offering an exciting renovation opportunity in a sought-after location on Hob Lane, just outside Balsall Common. Spanning approximately 1500 square feet, this property is primed for complete refurbishment, providing a blank canvas ideal for those looking to create their dream home or investment project. With the potential for significant enhancement and expansion (subject to necessary permissions), the existing layout includes three to four bedrooms and generous living areas. The approach features an appealing front garden with ample space for landscaping and improving the outdoor area. Inside, the spacious living room welcomes you, flowing seamlessly into a versatile room that can serve as either a study or fourth bedroom—ideal for flexibility in design. The kitchen/diner is equipped with essential fixtures but stands ready for modernisation and expansion to meet contemporary needs. Stairs lead to useful attic storage that could be converted into additional living space. Upstairs, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms with charming beams and countryside views. The family bathroom, while functional, presents another aspect of potential upgrades. Externally, the sizeable plot includes a boiler room with W/C facilities and a run-down outbuilding ripe for redevelopment. This property is not only habitable but also full of possibilities for creative enhancements. Viewing is strongly encouraged to fully appreciate its potential as a future project. It comes with no onward chain, allowing for immediate acquisition.
