Description

This distinctive detached residence is nestled within approximately 4 acres of land, accompanied by a separate annexe and various outbuildings, just a stone's throw from the charming Downe Village. The property is approached via a lengthy driveway, offering a tranquil retreat from the bustle of daily life. With this expansive plot, there is considerable potential for extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning permission) to craft an exceptional family home in this desirable location. Having been owned by the same family since the early 1970s, this chain-free property awaits your vision for modernization. It features a spacious living/dining area with wood block flooring and triple aspect windows that fill the space with natural light, alongside a kitchen/breakfast room, large conservatory, and ground floor shower room. Upstairs offers four bedrooms, plus an additional room that could serve as a dressing area or en-suite to the master bedroom, along with a family bathroom. The grounds host a variety of facilities including a detached workshop, pump room, outdoor swimming pool, stable with animal shelter, and the separate annexe complete with one bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, and shower room. The idyllic setting balances rural charm with convenient access to local amenities in Locksbottom and excellent transport links to London via nearby train stations. Nature enthusiasts will also appreciate close proximity to High Elms Country Park and local golf courses.
