Description

This charming Grade II listed detached house, believed to date back to the 16th century, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and modernisation. Set within approximately one third of an acre of mature gardens, the property features a wealth of period character, including exposed beams, oak panelling, and traditional leaded light windows. The impressive arched oak front door leads into a welcoming reception hall, which flows into a magnificent sitting room, complete with a substantial inglenook fireplace and views over the gardens. The adjoining drawing room offers a cozy study with direct access to the terrace, while the dining room boasts another impressive inglenook fireplace and a charming recessed window seat. The kitchen/breakfast room is positioned at the rear of the house, featuring timber cabinetry and an oil-fired AGA, alongside ample storage and space for everyday dining. A cleverly concealed utility area adds convenience. The ground floor also includes a useful bedroom that may offer potential for incorporation into the kitchen, subject to necessary consents, as well as a shower room and cloakroom. On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a delightful triple aspect, complemented by three further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. This property offers considerable scope for sympathetic updating and enhancement, allowing for the creation of a superb family home. The established gardens provide an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, with features such as a stone terrace, sweeping lawns, and an abundance of mature trees and shrubs. Offered with no onward chain, this property is a rare find in a desirable village location.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Ashe House is a charming Grade II listed detached property, rich in character and offering substantial potential for renovation. Priced at £530,000, the asking figure is significantly below the local average at £201/sqf, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home in need of modernisation. The property retains many original features, such as exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces, which can be beautifully restored to enhance its period charm.

However, the interior is dated and requires a comprehensive overhaul, with visible signs of age throughout the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen. The project scale is heavy, with a renovation budget expected between £100,000 and £250,000, making this a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. The good-sized garden and solid exterior add to the appeal, but buyers should be prepared for significant works to bring this property up to modern standards while preserving its unique character.

Key opportunities

  • The restoration of period features such as oak panelling and inglenook fireplaces can enhance the property's charm.
  • The flexible layout allows for potential reconfiguration, including the integration of the ground floor bedroom into the kitchen area.
  • Ample garden space provides opportunities for landscaping and outdoor living enhancements.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£250,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
