Description

Nestled amidst picturesque countryside vistas, this well-presented property offers a spacious and adaptable two-storey layout set on approximately 0.35 acres (STS). It features an array of outbuildings, ideal for those seeking a property with extensive renovation and investment potential. The site includes remote-controlled gates, a generous driveway, and east-facing gardens with a raised decked area that boasts a sunken pool, presenting attractive outdoor living options. Notably, there are lapsed planning permissions for a side extension, porch, and a detached annexe, which may spark interest from buyers looking to expand or reconfigure the space.

Upon entry through impressive double doors into the welcoming hall, one is greeted by contemporary aesthetics that flow seamlessly through the home. The living room offers serene views and serves as a comfortable retreat. Opposite the hall lies the dining/family room that connects effortlessly to the kitchen/breakfast area through a wide opening—perfect for socialising while maintaining distinct spaces.

The practical kitchen benefits from direct garden access, enhancing its functionality further. A cloakroom off the hallway rounds out the ground floor amenities. The first floor provides four spacious bedrooms filled with natural light; they cater well to various needs including guest accommodation or office setups. These rooms share a modern family bathroom along with an additional separate WC for added convenience.

The outdoor areas truly enhance this property’s appeal; strategically laid gardens offer open lawns and designated relaxation spaces, including an inviting raised deck with an overground pool suited for summer enjoyment. The supplementary outbuildings increase versatility with an office/gym featuring its own WC, utility and laundry facilities, garage space, and a workshop.

Electric gates lead to ample parking directly adjacent to the garage—a secure yet accessible feature complementing this grand residence. The previously granted planning permission underscores potential future developments subject to requisite approvals—ideal for those considering renovations tailored to their vision.
