Description

King and Chasemore are delighted to present to the market this impressive detached period home, nestled within approximately three acres of established grounds, offering an enviable semi-rural position with a rare combination of privacy, character and convenience. Surrounded by open countryside, mature woodland and scenic green spaces, the setting provides a peaceful retreat while remaining within easy reach of local amenities, schools and major transport links, making it ideal for both families and commuters alike.

Extending to more than 3,600 sq. ft. of accommodation, this substantial residence presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a home of considerable charm and versatility, with ample scope for further enhancement.

The attractive red-brick façade gives way to spacious and adaptable interiors, perfectly suited to modern family living. A selection of generously proportioned reception rooms provides flexibility for a variety of lifestyles, including formal entertaining, family gatherings, home working or multi-generational living. The principal sitting room, dining room and additional reception areas offer a wealth of space rarely found in homes of this type.

The kitchen forms the central hub of the home and leads seamlessly into a light-filled conservatory/garden room, where views across the surrounding grounds create a tranquil backdrop throughout the seasons. A separate utility room, ground floor cloakroom and integral garage further enhance the property's practicality.

A particularly notable feature is the extensive basement level, extending beneath the entire house. This vast space offers outstanding potential for conversion into a cinema room, gymnasium, games room, workshop, creative studio, home office suite or additional leisure space, subject to any necessary permissions.

To the first floor are four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property was previously configured as a five-bedroom residence and could easily be reverted to its original layout, providing further flexibility for larger families or those requiring additional accommodation.

Externally, the grounds are a true highlight. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are interspersed with mature trees, established shrubs and colourful seasonal planting, creating a picturesque setting that offers both beauty and privacy. A generous patio terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, while pathways meander through a variety of landscaped areas, including a productive garden with greenhouse and a charming woodland section that enhances the property's countryside appeal.

Further benefits include a detached garage and extensive off-road parking for numerous vehicles.

While some cosmetic modernisation may be desired, the property offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to create a truly magnificent country home. Combining substantial living space, period character, extensive grounds and endless potential, this is a rare acquisition that can be tailored to suit a wide range of lifestyle requirements for years to come.
