  • Excellent refurbishment, extension, or redevelopment potential (STPP)

Description

Set within approximately three acres of grounds in a highly desirable semi-rural location, this property presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a detached three bedroom bungalow with exceptional scope for refurbishment, extension, or potential redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Positioned along the sought-after Hawthorn Road in Four Marks, the property enjoys a peaceful and private setting surrounded by countryside, while remaining conveniently close to local amenities, transport links, and the nearby market town of Alton.

The existing bungalow now requires comprehensive modernisation throughout but offers spacious accommodation and tremendous potential to be transformed into a substantial and bespoke family home. Whether restored and extended or reimagined entirely, the property provides a superb blank canvas for buyers looking to create something truly special.

A particular feature of the property is the impressive land extending to approximately three acres, offering a wonderful sense of space, privacy, and rural appeal. The grounds present a wealth of possibilities for landscaping, hobby farming, equestrian use, or further development potential, subject to the relevant consents.

In addition, the property benefits from pre-existing stables, offering excellent potential for renovation and reinstatement. These structures could provide ideal facilities for equestrian enthusiasts, storage, workshops, or alternative uses depending on individual requirements and permissions.

Rarely do opportunities arise combining a substantial plot, existing outbuildings, and such significant future potential in a well-connected village setting. Edith Cottage represents a unique chance for developers, investors, or private buyers to unlock the full potential of an exceptional site in one of the area's most desirable locations.
