Description

This four-bedroom family residence, nestled in the picturesque village of Elmstead Market, presents an outstanding opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Originally part of a 40-home development called Hunter's Chase, this home features a spacious design while maintaining its semi-rural charm, making it ideal for families seeking both comfort and potential enhancement. The ground floor encompasses a welcoming hallway leading into a bright living area complete with a log burner, alongside a versatile home office and an open-plan kitchen/dining area that opens up to the expansive rear garden through bifold doors. The garden itself boasts landscaped areas, including a glass-canopied decking space and dedicated vegetable patches, all of which could benefit from further development to increase outdoor enjoyment and utility. Upstairs, you will find four well-proportioned bedrooms with the master suite benefiting from an en suite and dressing room. While the current finishes offer a solid foundation for modern living, there is ample scope for personalization and updating throughout. The property also provides convenient features like an integral double garage and utility room, adding practical value to its layout. Elmstead Market is known for its blend of rural tranquility and proximity to urban amenities, making this property not only a comfortable home but also an attractive investment for those willing to put in some work. As the owners depart after cultivating both the interiors and extensive gardens into inviting spaces rich with wildlife, they leave behind a canvas ready for your vision.
