Description

A truly unique opportunity to acquire two substantial properties on a single title, set within an expansive and private plot in the heart of the highly desirable village of Sheering. Willow House and Willow Cottage are discreetly set back from the road, surrounded by generous gardens, open space and established greenery, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, income potential, or those seeking a lifestyle property with room to grow.

The main residence, Willow House, is a beautifully presented and generously proportioned three / four-bedroom detached home, thoughtfully designed to maximise light, space and connection to the surrounding gardens.
The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall which leads into the impressive open-plan dining area, forming the true hub of the home. This stunning space flows seamlessly through to the modern, upgraded kitchen/breakfast room, which enjoys a front-facing aspect and double doors opening directly onto the large, private rear garden. A striking floor-to-ceiling window floods the dining area with natural light, complemented by an impressive staircase that adds to the sense of scale and character.

The spacious living room features a log burner, a front-facing window and double doors that again lead out into the garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor feel. The ground floor is completed by a practical utility room with external access, worktop space and window, alongside a convenient WC and additional storage.

Upstairs, a bright and airy landing benefits from windows to both the front and rear. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a walk-in wardrobe area leading into a generously sized bedroom space, extensive storage, a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, and a modern en-suite bathroom. There are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, a contemporary family bathroom, and stairs leading to a top room currently used for storage, which offers clear potential to be converted into a fourth bedroom or home office.

Externally, Willow House enjoys a large, private rear garden with a swimming pool to the side and further scope for a pool house, studio or additional outbuilding, subject to the necessary consents. A natural buffer of trees lines the boundary, creating privacy and a peaceful outlook towards the neighbouring village greenery and football pitch.

The second property, Willow Cottage, provides exceptional additional accommodation and versatility. This spacious four-bedroom home opens into a large entrance hall which leads through to a bright living room overlooking the driveway. To the rear is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, filled with natural light from multiple windows and double doors opening onto its own private and sizeable rear garden.

The ground floor offers two bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate shower room, a utility space and built-in storage cupboards. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, one currently utilised as a walk-in wardrobe, along with a separate WC.

Both properties benefit from extensive driveway parking, a double car port, and a wide gravel driveway shared between the homes. The overall plot also includes a disused tennis court and additional land, currently used as overflow parking for larger gatherings and events. Notably, the ownership includes the private lane leading up to the properties, enhancing both privacy and long-term control of access.
This remarkable setting and level of flexibility makes the property ideal for multi-generational living, independent accommodation for older children, or as an income-generating opportunity through long-term letting or short-term holiday rental.
