**Planning permission granted to divide the garden and construct a separate 3-bedroom bungalow***

Set on a level plot of approximately 0.38 acres, this impressive and versatile home offers bright, well-proportioned accommodation, a self-contained annexe (1 bed, 1 bath, 1 living area) , 3 / 4 bedrooms (excluding annexe), and planning permission has been granted to divide the garden and build a separate three-bedroom bungalow of approximately 1,000 sq ft.- Planning Ref- P/FUL/2025/05283

The property has been extended and improved by the current owners to create a spacious and adaptable family home, perfectly suited to modern living. A large in-and-out driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and gives an immediate sense of space on arrival.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a striking double-height entrance hall, filled with natural light and creating a superb first impression. A feature Purbeck Stone wall adds character, while the impressive staircase with black wrought iron detailing rises to the first floor, enhancing the sense of style and openness.

The layout has been designed with flexibility in mind, offering a range of spaces that can easily adapt to different lifestyles. The principal living room is a wonderfully bright and spacious reception room, with French doors opening directly onto the garden and a log burner providing a warm and cosy focal point during the winter months. Adjoining this is a highly versatile additional reception room, ideal as a home office, playroom, snug or ground floor bedroom, and enjoying pleasant views over the garden.

The kitchen is particularly well-appointed and forms the heart of the home, featuring an integrated oven, dishwasher and a ceramic hob, with space for an American-style fridge freezer. There is room for a small breakfast table for informal day-to-day dining, while a separate dining room leading off the kitchen provides an excellent space for entertaining and larger gatherings. A ground floor shower room with wash hand basin and WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the feeling of light and space continues with a generous galleried landing, from which three well-proportioned double bedrooms lead off. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room with WC and wash hand basin, while the family bathroom is spacious and well-equipped with a bath, separate shower cubicle, w/c and wash hand basin.

From the kitchen, access is provided to a useful lean-to utility area, which in turn leads to both the garden and the annexe. The self-contained annexe has its own private entrance to the side of the house, making it ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, a home office or even as a potential rental opportunity. The annexe includes a double bedroom with an ensuite featuring a walk in shower, w/c, hand basin and a bath, which leads through to a comfortable sitting area with a handy kitchenette and direct access to the garden.

The south westerly-facing garden is a particular highlight, enjoying a bright and private aspect with a lovely selection of mature trees and shrubs.

A key highlight is that the property also benefits from approved planning permission to divide the garden and construct a separate three-bedroom bungalow, with access via the left-hand side of the main house. Importantly, both the existing house and the proposed bungalow would retain good-sized gardens, making this an especially appealing proposition for buyers seeking to develop the plot.
