The Elms is a historic Georgian residence in the heart of Old Willand Village, believed to have origins extending back around 250 years. This property boasts an impressive symmetrical façade with a classic columned portico that establishes its stately presence. With six bedrooms and expansive living areas, the interior offers considerable space to reimagine and enhance the home's charm over time.
The ground floor welcomes you with a generous entrance hall, leading to elegant reception rooms—such as a drawing room featuring high ceilings and period detailing, as well as a snug with exposed beams and another fireplace for cozy gatherings. The kitchen-dining area is particularly noteworthy, designed for modern living with direct access to the garden through French doors. A traditional Royal oven adds character but may require some refurbishment.
A unique aspect of this home is its secondary wing, which was once a coach house, providing an opportunity for ancillary accommodation or even rental income if adapted appropriately, subject to planning permissions. The ground floor also includes a utility room with potential for conversion into additional functional space.
Upstairs, six bedrooms provide flexibility for family needs or workspace solutions. The property also features several bathrooms that may benefit from modernization.
Externally, a gated driveway ensures privacy while offering ample parking. There is potential for developing the existing outbuildings into further garages or workshops, pending necessary consents. The rear garden presents an inviting outdoor area with room for landscaping improvements or extensions to enhance usable space.
Additionally, the separate two-bedroom barn conversion on-site provides further possibilities—for guest housing or generating rental income—as it’s available by separate negotiation.
Situated in an attractive village setting with strong community ties and easy access to amenities and transport links, The Elms not only holds historical significance but also significant potential for renovation and investment. With appropriate updates and care, this property could become a stunning family home well suited for contemporary living.
