Description

This distinct property presents an exciting investment opportunity with a main 4-bedroom detached residence alongside a separate 2-bedroom bungalow, both situated on a generous plot of approximately 1 acre in the desirable village of Barley. The main house features a versatile layout, including an inviting lounge, formal dining room, study, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/breakfast area equipped with modern appliances. With four well-sized bedrooms and three bathrooms, this home exhibits ample potential for personal touches or modern upgrades. The adjacent bungalow further expands possibilities for multigenerational living or rental income with its open-plan layout, two double bedrooms, and ensuite facilities. Both properties enjoy lovely countryside views and access to extensive outdoor spaces that could be transformed into private gardens or recreational areas. The exterior offers a two-storey outbuilding currently utilized as a games room but with the potential for conversion into additional living space (subject to planning permissions). The overall setting is serene and private, surrounded by trees while still being conveniently close to local amenities such as shops and eateries. A prospective buyer may consider light renovations like modernizing interior finishes or updating fixtures to enhance value while exploring the scope for expansion or redevelopment of the large plot. Located in Barley, known for its community spirit and accessibility to transport routes leading to nearby towns and cities including London, this property not only serves as a comfortable home but also holds significant promise for future growth.
