Description

Nestled in a highly sought-after rural location on Tote Hill, this exceptional detached house offers a unique blend of privacy and tranquility. The property is set away from the road, providing uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside and a picturesque outlook over a small valley. The main residence features four bedrooms and two reception rooms, complemented by a separate two-bedroom annex that adds flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, or home working. The substantial footprint of the main building presents opportunities for significant redevelopment, subject to necessary consents. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, the grounds are particularly stunning during spring and summer, showcasing approximately 40 ornamental cherry trees and a boundary adorned with climbing roses. An automated irrigation system ensures the gardens thrive, while the lawn features wildflowers that bloom throughout the summer months. Additional outdoor features include a large barn, three stables, ample parking, and a secure chicken run currently housing around a dozen hens. The land is divided into pasture and woodland, offering versatility for equestrian, agricultural, or leisure uses. Each section benefits from independent access and water supply, enhancing practical flexibility. The property is ideally located for outdoor enthusiasts, with beautiful walking routes accessible directly from the premises. The immediate area is peaceful, with minimal traffic contributing to its serene atmosphere. There is notable potential for future development, subject to planning consent, particularly with existing structures such as a former chicken shed and a derelict turkey shed that could be converted or redeveloped. Properties like this, combining accommodation, privacy, land, and potential in such an attractive setting, are increasingly rare. This country home presents a versatile opportunity for those seeking a private retreat with ample ancillary accommodation and significant scope for various lifestyle pursuits.

The substantial outdoor space includes beautifully established gardens, a barn, stables, and the potential for redevelopment, making it an excellent project for those looking to enhance the property further.
