Description

Set within a serene plot of approximately 0.4 acres, this charming detached home offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by established woodland and landscaped gardens. With around 2,472 sq/ft (229.6 sq/m) of internal space plus an additional 404 sq/ft (37.5 sq/m) garage, this property presents significant potential for modernization and expansion (subject to necessary approvals).

Accessed via two private driveways and shielded by mature hedges and trees, the home boasts a characterful facade with traditional architectural features beneath a tiled roof. The inviting entrance hall showcases appealing parquet flooring and period details, leading to spacious formal and informal living areas that suit contemporary family life as well as entertaining.

The main reception room is an impressive space at nearly 20 ft long, overlooking the gardens and connecting directly to the conservatory. This room features a prominent fireplace and is filled with natural light. Across the hall, the elegant dining room exceeds 14 ft in length and includes a bay window along with its own fireplace, making it perfect for hosting gatherings.

The kitchen comes equipped with ample cabinetry but offers possibilities for reconfiguration or extension to create a modern open-plan kitchen/family area. Adjacent to it, the breakfast room/snug provides versatile living space complemented by garden views. A guest cloakroom rounds off the ground floor layout. The conservatory serves as an attractive link between indoor living and the expansive gardens.

On the first floor, five well-sized bedrooms await. The principal suite benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom along with a separate WC. Each bedroom enjoys serene views of the surrounding greenery.

The outdoor spaces are particularly noteworthy: predominantly laid to lawn, the mature gardens are bordered by numerous trees and shrubs that create an oasis-like atmosphere seldom found in such accessible locations. The large rear garden is ideal for children's play or future landscaping endeavors. Additionally, there are both detached double and single garages alongside ample driveway parking options.

This property is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to invest in a substantial family home within a desirable area, ripe for refurbishment to create an exquisite long-term residence.
