Description

Nestled on approximately 4.5 acres, this unique detached chalet-style property offers a rare opportunity for those seeking an equestrian lifestyle. Surrounded by open fields and farmland, the home features ample parking and a double garage, along with various outbuildings including stables and workshops. The property is conveniently located with excellent access to the A14 and A12, making it ideal for commuting while enjoying a semi-rural setting. Inside, the entrance porch leads to a hallway with stairs to the first floor and an understair cupboard. The living room, with its front-facing window, flows into a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room featuring an integrated double electric oven, hob, and extractor hood. Adjacent to the living room is a spacious sitting/dining room complete with patio doors leading to the rear garden and a cozy wood burner set in a Yorkstone-style fire surround. A sunroom constructed of UPVC adds additional light and space. The ground floor includes a bathroom with a separate shower, utility room, and a bedroom with a front window. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms boast dual aspect views, with built-in storage in one. A cloakroom is also available for convenience. The outdoor space is equally impressive, featuring a front garden with mature trees and flower beds, alongside a driveway for multiple vehicles. The rear garden is formal, with patio areas and subdivided fields and paddocks suitable for various uses. Notably, there is a breeze-block stable block housing two stables, a storage area, and a large wooden shed. While some areas require attention, this property presents excellent potential for extension or redevelopment, subject to necessary consents. Offered at auction, this property is a must-see for anyone looking to invest in a unique lifestyle opportunity.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached chalet-style property offers a substantial plot of around 4.5 acres, ideal for those seeking an equestrian lifestyle. While the asking price of £800,000 may seem attractive compared to local averages, the lack of usable floor area means we can't fully assess value by £/sqf, and the overall condition, which shows significant signs of wear throughout the living areas and dated kitchen and bathroom, signals a heavy renovation project ahead.

The property boasts ample space, including outbuildings and workshops, which present unique opportunities for redevelopment or extension, especially given its semi-rural location with good access to main roads. However, potential buyers should be prepared for a full-gut renovation, with a projected budget of £100,000 to £250,000 needed to bring the interiors up to modern standards. The dated condition of the garden and living spaces further emphasizes the scope of work required to transform this property into a desirable home.

Key opportunities

  • Large plot size with potential for equestrian activities and outbuildings
  • Scope for extension or redevelopment, subject to consent
  • Ample parking and a double garage, enhancing functionality

Key risks

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