Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a charming family home set within over two acres of gardens and paddock, offered to the market with no onward chain.

Homes like Wanswell House rarely become available. Having remained in the same family for decades, this delightful home enjoys a peaceful rural setting whilst offering exceptional space, character and potential.

The property has been lovingly maintained and provides an exciting opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on it. Recent improvements include a beautifully fitted kitchen and external rendering, allowing buyers to move straight in while enhancing the property over time.

The accommodation is generously proportioned throughout. The ground floor comprises three spacious reception rooms, a stunning kitchen/dining room, separate utility room and a ground floor shower room. Upstairs are three large double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, an airing cupboard and a substantial loft offering excellent storage and potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a generous sized garden, a useful outbuilding and ample off-road parking. Beyond the driveway lies the adjoining paddock, with the added benefit of a second independent access point further along the lane.

Extending to over two acres, the gardens and paddock offer endless possibilities, whether for equestrian use, smallholding, gardening or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Further benefits include electric heating and no onward chain.

Combining charm, character, generous accommodation and an idyllic setting, Wanswell House is a truly unique home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
