Description

This three to four-bedroom self-build residence is nestled on the outskirts of a charming village, set within approximately 0.4 acres of land that offers stunning views over the landscape. The current design features an open-plan kitchen and separate sitting room, both equipped with bi-fold doors leading to a covered terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. While the house is thoughtfully laid out with ample storage and modern amenities, it presents significant renovation potential for those looking to customize their living space further. The property includes three bathrooms and bedrooms arranged over two upper levels, all designed to take advantage of the picturesque surroundings. The principal bedroom boasts an en-suite bathroom and dressing area. Key sustainable features such as an air source heat pump and photovoltaic panels are already in place but may require updates or enhancements to maximize efficiency. Outside, the garden offers privacy with its natural boundaries of hedges and trees, leading down to an old orchard that adds character to the landscape. The parking area at the top presents possibilities for development into a carport or additional structures, subject to planning permission. Located in the historically rich valley of River Sheppey, this residence also benefits from a vibrant local community with various amenities and activities available nearby. The proximity to Wells adds convenience with its range of shops, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. This property not only allows for immediate habitation but also provides ample scope for investment and alteration considering its unique location and existing framework.
