This impressive six-bedroom period home, dating back to the 1700s, presents a unique chance for buyers looking to invest in a property rich with character and history. Nestled within an expansive one-acre plot, this detached residence offers significant potential for modernization while preserving its traditional charm. The property is conveniently located near motorway links and respected local schools, making it particularly appealing to families and commuters alike.
The entrance is via a private tree-lined driveway, flanked by an orchard, leading to a substantial lawned garden that ensures privacy through mature hedging. A detached garage/workshop with electric doors adds utility; it currently serves as both gym and workshop space but could be repurposed.
Inside, the home features notable period details such as an impressive staircase and exposed beams alongside a captivating fireplace in the main sitting room. The configuration of multiple reception areas—including a large lounge that flows into a formal dining space—creates opportunities for modern open-plan living. The kitchen connects smoothly to dining areas and includes ample storage and access to outdoor spaces.
While the ground floor features a snug room with remnants of historical charm like an old conservatory (requiring attention), the upper levels host several generous bedrooms including those with en suite facilities. A family bathroom showcases vintage fixtures such as a jacuzzi bath.
Notably, there are possibilities for further enhancements including opening up cellar spaces or even developing above the kitchen, with previous planning permission already obtained for additional family rooms. This property not only offers vast living spaces but also endless opportunities for renovation or expansion tailored to personal preferences. With its blend of adaptability and character, this residence is well worth viewing for those interested in using creativity to transform it into their dream home.
