Description

This expansive detached residence presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to restore and modernize a period home rich in character. Constructed circa 1900, the house showcases original architectural features, including high ceilings and an impressive grand hallway. The current owners have undertaken substantial initial works, including stripping many rooms back to their brickwork, complete rewiring throughout, and installing contemporary electric heating, while also replastering several areas. Due to changing circumstances, the project remains open for new owners to capitalize on its potential. Upon entry, you are greeted by a spacious L-shaped hallway that leads to two ample reception rooms with views of the front garden, as well as a kitchen positioned at the rear that connects to a third reception space. The kitchen provides access via a lean-to into the garden, which includes an original outbuilding for storage. Notably, planning permission has been secured for the demolition of these rear outbuildings and an extension off the kitchen—an attractive feature for potential buyers eager to enhance their living space. Ascending the grand staircase with its half landing and large window above leads you to an impressive first-floor landing that serves four generously sized double bedrooms. The existing shower room and adjacent WC offer possibilities for modern updates or reconfiguration into a larger family bathroom. The property’s exterior is bordered by low-level brick walling with a pathway leading to the rear garden, which is currently unlandscaped but presents abundant opportunities for creative outdoor design. Additionally, there is a gated side driveway leading to twin garages at the back of the property. It’s worth noting that there is a right of access across this drive for neighbors accessing their own garden storage garage. This home not only boasts historical charm but also vast potential for refurbishment and personalization—a perfect find for those seeking a rewarding renovation project.
