Description

This well-presented detached family home, built in the late 1960s, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and expansion. Nestled on a generous south-facing plot of just under two-thirds of an acre, the property boasts significant potential for enlargement, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. Located on a quiet no-through road in Ballsdown, Chiddingfold, this home is surrounded by picturesque countryside and individual homes, providing a peaceful setting. The property retains its original charm while offering modernisation possibilities. It features a self-contained one-bedroom flat on the first floor, ideal for guests or an elderly relative, complete with a separate entrance and a balcony off the living room. The main house includes four characterful bedrooms and a contemporary family bath/shower room with a vaulted ceiling on the first floor. On the ground floor, you will find an entrance porch leading into a welcoming reception hall adorned with original wood parquet flooring. The triple aspect living room is bright and airy, featuring an open fireplace. The double aspect kitchen/dining room is equipped with original units and a breakfast bar, connecting to a utility room that provides access to a downstairs cloakroom and a double garage. A large conservatory at the rear enhances the living space, making it perfect for family gatherings. The expansive grounds offer a blank canvas for landscaping, with well-maintained lawns surrounded by established hedging, ensuring privacy. The driveway provides ample parking and turning space, leading to the integral double garage equipped with power and light. This property is not just a home; it represents a chance to create your dream living space in a desirable location.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious detached house offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to create their dream home in a desirable location. While the property is in need of modernisation, it features a well-maintained garden and a self-contained annexe, which adds significant value and versatility. The living spaces, including a triple aspect living room with parquet flooring, provide a solid foundation to work from, although they will require redecoration and updates to the kitchen.

At a guide price of £1,300,000, the £529/sqf is in line with local averages, making it a reasonable entry point for this project. However, potential buyers should note that all-in costs, including renovations, are tight against local benchmarks, indicating that careful budgeting will be essential. With the right vision and investment, this property could be transformed into a stunning family home that capitalises on its generous plot and excellent location.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the dated kitchen into a modern culinary space.
  • Utilise the self-contained annexe for guests or rental income potential.
  • Enhance the garden and outdoor space for additional appeal.

Key risks

  • Medium scale renovation project requiring careful budget management.
  • Potential planning hurdles for any extensions or major alterations.
