Description

LOCATION

Situated in a desirable semi-rural setting, the property enjoys the perfect balance between countryside tranquillity and everyday convenience. Surrounded by open green spaces and mature woodland, the location offers a peaceful, private environment ideal for families and those seeking a quieter pace of life. Despite its rural feel, the property remains well connected, with nearby towns providing a range of shops, amenities, and schooling options. Excellent road links ensure straightforward access to larger centres and commuter routes, making it a practical choice for professionals. This is a location that combines natural beauty with accessibility, offering both seclusion and convenience.

PROPERTY

This substantial detached period residence offers over 3,600 sq ft of versatile accommodation, combining character, space and tremendous potential in a sought-after setting.

Behind its attractive red-brick façade lies a wonderfully flexible family home with a range of reception rooms designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The generous living room, formal dining room and additional reception space provide plenty of options for growing families, those working from home or buyers seeking adaptable accommodation.

At the heart of the property is the kitchen, which flows naturally into a bright sunroom/conservatory overlooking the gardens, creating a wonderful space to relax and enjoy the surrounding outlook. A separate utility room, ground floor WC and integral garage add further practicality.

One of the property's most exciting features is the extensive basement level, spanning the entire footprint of the house. Offering exceptional potential, this space could be transformed into a cinema room, gym, games room, studio, home office or hobby area, subject to any necessary consents.

The first floor currently provides four generous bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property was previously arranged as a five-bedroom home and could easily be returned to that configuration, offering flexibility for larger families or those requiring additional workspace.

Whilst the property would benefit from some cosmetic updating, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial character home with enormous scope to personalise and enhance, creating a truly exceptional long-term family residence.

OUTSIDE & PARKING

Set within approximately 3 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, the property offers a rare sense of space and privacy. Expansive lawned areas are interspersed with mature trees, established planting, and vibrant seasonal borders, creating a stunning natural setting. A generous patio terrace provides the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while pathways lead through a variety of garden areas, including a productive section with greenhouse and a more natural woodland environment. The property also benefits from a detached garage and ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, completing this exceptional outdoor offering.
