Wellesley Road, Rushmoor, Farnham, Surrey

Wellesley Cottage is a four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow with tremendous potential for extension and renovation. Offering a rare opportunity to acquire a property in this most sought-after location, surrounded by beautiful, protected countryside and set within generous gardens, the property is light, airy and comfortable throughout, but also provides plenty of scope for development, subject to the necessary consents.

The flexible layout currently includes two reception rooms and two bedrooms on the ground floor, though this could be reconfigured to suit the buyer’s needs. The main reception room is the dual aspect sitting room, which is flooded with natural light owing to its sliding glass doors, and features a splendid copper-lined, recessed fireplace. In addition to this well-presented reception room there is a formal dining room, which adjoins the kitchen with its fitted units to base and wall level.

Also on the ground floor there is a shower room with a separate WC, and two double bedrooms, either of which could be converted into an additional reception room with ease. The larger of the two lower-level bedrooms has built-in wardrobes, while upstairs there are a further two bedrooms and a family bathroom, all of which have south-facing dormer windows. The first-floor landing, and the larger of the two upper bedrooms both have access to extensive eaves storage space.

The house is set at the centre of a generous plot with gardens to the front and rear, offering the scope to extend the footprint of the property significantly without compromising the outside space.

There are rolling lawns to both the front and rear, with the garden at the rear extending to approximately 100ft, and featuring a wealth of established shrubs, hedgerows and trees, as well as a patio seating area and a summer house. There is an additional area beyond a line of established hedgerow towards the end of the plot, featuring a greenhouse, a vegetable garden and a shaded, peaceful woodland area.
