Description

This property represents a notable opportunity to acquire a piece of local heritage situated near the sought-after Downe Village. Unit 3 Crowhill, originally constructed in 1881, exudes historic charm while offering ample scope for modernization and personalisation. The residence features an open-plan dining and sitting area that is both spacious and bright, complemented by period-style windows and original flooring. While currently functional, the layout offers potential for reconfiguration to better suit contemporary needs. The kitchen, with its views over the courtyard, presents an opportunity for expansion or redesign pending planning permissions, making it ideal for those wishing to create a more modern culinary space. A quiet study is also available, which could easily be repurposed as part of the kitchen extension. On the upper level, two double bedrooms are well-sized and benefit from natural light with scenic views, while the family bathroom features traditional fittings that could be upgraded for enhanced comfort. Accessed via a fixed staircase, the loft room serves as versatile additional living space or bedroom potential. Outdoors, the property boasts expansive gardens with formal landscaping and panoramic countryside views. There’s also a secluded courtyard garden perfect for outdoor enjoyment. With parking capacity already established and further possibilities for development on-site, this property stands out as an investment with considerable potential for appreciation through thoughtful renovation. The plot benefits from local listing status but remains open to improvements that respect its heritage while increasing its value.
