Weeley Heath

An exciting opportunity to refurbish and extend (stp) this imposing residence with no immediate neighbours and secluded grounds of 0.67 acres (stls)

What We Think at The Zoe Napier Group

Coming to market for the first time since it was constructed in the 1930’s is this hidden gem. Located at the end of an elongated driveway, with no immediate neighbours and surrounded by splendid woodland, this property offers a fantastic opportunity for a family to extend, refurbish and put their own stamp on this attractive, imposing home (stp).

What the owners say

The property has been in my family ever since it was constructed for my grandparents nearly a hundred years ago and we have had some wonderful times here, entertaining in the secluded grounds, whilst when my daughter was little, she loved nothing more than exploring in the surrounding woodland. I have now got the point in my life where I would like to downsize and allow another family to create some magical memories of their own.

History & Background

The property is believed to have originally been constructed in the 1933 with a two-storey side extension subsequently erected in the 1990’s.

The ground floor accommodation includes three generous reception rooms, spacious kitchen/ breakfast room complemented by a large pantry and utility room. The first floor boasts an impressive principal bedroom suite with en suite shower room and balcony that boasts splendid views over the grounds, whilst the remaining three bedrooms are all double rooms and serviced by the family bathroom.

The incredibly secluded 0.67 acres grounds (sts) are a particular feature of the property, beautifully screened via a mature hedging and trees and incorporate a variety of outbuildings.
