Requiring extensive modernisation or potential redevelopment, subject to planning, this is an exciting blank canvas in a truly tranquil setting. For sale via the Modern Method of Auction.
Nestled in a tranquil rural setting at Pilmoor, this distinctive three-bedroom detached property presents an exciting and increasingly rare opportunity to transform a home with enormous potential into something truly special.
Accompanied by approximately 2.5 acres of private woodland, with attractive landscape views, a pond and a wealth of wildlife, the setting is every bit as appealing as the opportunity itself.
Requiring extensive modernisation or potentially redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions, the property offers a wonderful blank canvas for an imaginative purchaser.
The accommodation begins with a central entrance hall, leading to a comfortable living room, a separate dining room and a kitchen. Sliding doors from the dining room open directly onto the rear patio and garden.
A ground-floor bedroom adds flexibility to the existing layout, potentially appealing to families seeking adaptable accommodation or those considering future living arrangements.
An attached garage provides useful storage and further practical potential.
To the first floor are two generously proportioned double bedrooms and the house bathroom, completing the existing three-bedroom accommodation.
