Poolhay is a 1960s detached bungalow nestled on a tranquil no-through lane in the desirable village of Avening. Set in an elevated position, the property benefits from expansive views over approximately 1.3 acres of its gardens and grounds, offering a peaceful outlook towards the charming village church across the small valley. The existing structure presents an opportunity for significant modernisation, as it currently requires comprehensive refurbishment to reach contemporary living standards. An ambitious buyer may opt to realise the proposed planning permission (Cotswold District Council ref. 23/00352/FUL) for a stylish replacement home designed by acclaimed architect Richard Hawkes, known for his innovative designs seen on ‘Grand Designs’. This new build concept embraces passive house principles, ensuring energy efficiency while maximising natural light and connectivity within living spaces. Alternatively, enhancing the present layout—which includes a spacious living room, study, kitchen, bathroom with separate WC, and multiple attic spaces—could also yield considerable value. Externally, the property features ample parking and a garage while the generous garden area provides additional potential for landscape enhancement or leisure space development. Grant opportunities for environmental planting initiatives further increase the attractiveness of this unique offering. Situated within a vibrant community that boasts local amenities and recreational options, Poolhay stands as an intriguing investment opportunity with both immediate refurbishment scope and long-term development prospects.
