Description

Mayhew Estates are delighted to offer to the market this exceptional 3/4 bedroom detached family home to the market. Originally constructed circa 1932, the property has been sympathetically extended and enhanced over the years to create a substantial and versatile home, while still offering exciting scope for further enlargement, subject to the necessary planning permissions (STPP).

Occupying an impressive plot of approximately 1.4 acres, the property is surrounded by beautifully established, easy-to-maintain gardens that provide a wonderful sense of privacy and space. The grounds are complemented by a range of highly useful outbuildings, including two double garages and a spacious workshop, making the property ideal for car enthusiasts, those working from home, or buyers seeking additional storage and hobby space.

Combining character, flexibility, and future potential, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly adaptable family home in a stunning setting.

This spacious and versatile property welcomes you with a large entrance hall offering useful storage and access to a convenient WC. The ground floor provides an abundance of living space, including a generous living room and a separate dining area, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. The dining room was thoughtfully designed with flexibility in mind and could easily be utilised as a ground floor bedroom, benefiting from direct access to a downstairs shower room — perfect for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. The well-appointed neutral kitchen offers an excellent range of work surfaces and storage space, with adjoining access to a practical utility room. A charming breakfast room, complete with a log-burning stove, creates a cosy additional reception space and leads through to a large conservatory overlooking the garden.

The first floor provides three generously proportioned bedrooms, each offering a bright and comfortable living space. The impressive principal bedroom is a particularly spacious double room and benefits from a large en-suite bathroom, creating an ideal private retreat. Bedrooms two and three are also well-sized double bedrooms, perfectly suited for family living or guest accommodation. Serving the remaining bedrooms is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath, WC, and wash hand basin.

Outside:


The property is approached via an impressive frontage, with the expansive front garden mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging, creating an exceptional degree of privacy and a wonderfully secluded setting. A long private driveway sweeps towards the property, providing extensive parking for multiple vehicles alongside two substantial double garages.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a beautifully maintained and more formal outdoor space, complete with vibrant flower beds, a well-established vegetable patch, summer house, and a covered patio area — perfect for al fresco dining and year-round entertaining.

A particular feature of the property is the excellent range of outbuildings and the large workshop, offering superb versatility for storage, hobbies, home working, or potential future uses. The home also benefits from the addition of solar panels, enhancing both efficiency and sustainability.
