The Wickets, Long Street, Wheaton Aston

LC-1235

Lee Cooke Personal Estate Agents proudly presents this rare and distinctive detached home, known as 'The Wickets'.

Once serving as a police station, this character-filled property offers exceptional potential, including the opportunity to create a ground floor annex (subject to the necessary permissions). A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scope, charm, and setting of this unique home.

On arrival, you are welcomed by a gated entrance leading to a generous parking area, bordered by beautifully maintained and picturesque gardens, and providing access to the detached garage.

Beyond a second gated entry lies a practical side storage area — ideal for potential extension (subject to planning) — and a thoughtfully landscaped rear garden. This themed outdoor space includes an inviting BBQ patio perfect for entertaining, along with winding paths that lead to a secluded, gothic-style garden retreat.

Inside, the property is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall that leads to a variety of rooms, including a cosy lounge, a separate dining room or home office, a fully fitted kitchen, and a useful utility area.

To the right wing of the home is a standout feature: a 19ft family entertainment room with an adjoining spacious guest WC and its own private access. This section is perfectly suited for conversion into a self-contained annex, subject to the appropriate approvals.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious master with en-suite, along with a family bathroom and a separate WC.
