PROPERTY INTRODUCTION An Exceptional Detached Family Home with Development Potential

A rare opportunity to purchase this detached family home, which has been cherished by the same family for decades. Boasting high ceilings and retaining some original features, this property offers a generous footprint of approximately 3,100 sq ft. Survey has been done allowing transparency!

While in need of updating, it provides an exciting opportunity for the future owners to design and develop a beautiful, bespoke family home. An additional benefit is a brand-new roof, replaced in February 2026, ensuring the property is structurally ready for the next chapter. With its spacious layout and characterful elements, this home is full of potential to create a truly stunning residence.


 

GROUND FLOOR OVERVIEW Internally, the property spans three floors. To the front, there is an enclosed verandah leading into a large hallway through the original door framed with panes. The hallway features picture rails and a panelled staircase. While currently carpeted, it is believed that original parquet flooring lies beneath.

From the hallway, there is access to the large first reception room, which boasts parquet flooring and a feature fireplace. Single-glazed doors from this room open into the verandah, and the space flows seamlessly into the open dining room. Here, a focal double-sided brick fireplace houses a log burner and steps into the second reception room, which includes a home bar.

The kitchen connects to a W.C., with an additional room housing a hand basin-ideal for conversion into a utility room. From here, access leads to a small conservatory with a door opening onto the rear courtyard. A step down from the conservatory leads into the garage, which is fitted with an electric door.
 

FIRST FLOOR OVERVIEW From the large, open hallway leading up to the bright first landing, you will find the master bedroom, which features a spacious bay window to the front elevation, an en-suite bathroom, and built-in wardrobes across one wall.

Bedrooms two and three are both generous double rooms, each with plenty of built-in wardrobe space. The large family bathroom, which boasts a feature porthole window, could be reduced in size to create an en-suite for bedroom two.
 

SECOND FLOOR OVERVIEW The second staircase leads to a bedroom with a separate bathroom and an additional door into the attic. This entire area offers excellent potential for reconfiguration and could make a perfect guest or teenage suite.
 

EXTERNAL OVERVIEW Set back from the road, the property boasts a walled garden with double gates opening onto a large shingled driveway, surrounded by mature borders. Beyond, further double gates-including a wrought iron gate-provide additional parking and access to the garage.

A raised terrace extends from the enclosed verandah, overlooking a garden laid mainly to lawn, which can easily be configured to create a family-friendly outdoor space. To the rear of the property lies a charming courtyard. The conservatory could be removed to create a larger rear garden, which also benefits from side access to the front of the property.
