Description

This remarkable detached period residence offers a private escape with stunning vistas of the Blackdown Hills, set within approximately 3.89 acres of land which includes a two-bedroom annexe, outbuildings, and a paddock. Built in the 1950s, the property features rendered brick elevations topped with a pitched tiled roof and is equipped with oil-fired central heating and double glazing. While the home has been well cared for, it presents an excellent opportunity for cosmetic upgrades to fully realize its potential. The accommodation consists of an inviting entrance porch leading into a hallway adorned with original parquet flooring that extends into three distinct reception rooms. The sitting room benefits from a bay window and an open fireplace, providing warmth and character. A dual-aspect dining room opens via French doors to the outdoor space, while the expansive living room features attractive Minster fireplace details. The kitchen is fitted with modern base units but could use some refreshing to better suit contemporary tastes. The upper level comprises five bedrooms along with essential family amenities including a bathroom, separate W/C, and shower room. Adjacent to the main residence lies a detached single-storey annexe currently rented but will become vacant upon sale completion. Set at the end of a long shared driveway amid lawns and mature landscaping, this property not only promises tranquility but also offers vast potential for both personal enjoyment and investment in further development or agricultural pursuits given the included paddock and barns.
