Description
A substantial country property set within approximately one acre, occupying a particularly private position towards the no-through end of highly regarded Hermitage Lane.
Pear Trees Farm offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable property with excellent existing accommodation, extensive garaging and outbuildings, and significant scope for modernisation and further development, subject to the necessary consents.
The main house extends to over 2,500 sq ft and provides well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes a generous kitchen, utility room, dining room, study, large lounge, separate living room, bedroom, bathroom and WC, while the first floor provides four further bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, together with a family bathroom.
The property is very much a blank canvas, offering buyers the opportunity to modernise and adapt the existing accommodation to create a home more closely suited to contemporary family life. The generous proportions and existing layout provide an excellent starting point.
Outside, the property sits within approximately one acre and includes a substantial detached garage of around 665 sq ft, alongside former agricultural storage structures. There are also the remains of what was historically a tea room/separate dwelling, associated with the strawberry-picking business formerly operated from the property many years ago.
The combination of its highly regarded location, private setting, substantial accommodation, land and extensive ancillary buildings makes Pear Trees Farm an unusually interesting proposition, with considerable potential for those seeking a project and the opportunity to create something genuinely individual.
