A Special Home with Lots of Space for Some Big Ideas…

Truly individual and elegantly designed, this much-loved family home unfolds over two vastly extended and flowing levels. The existing adaptable spaces present an interesting project for modernisation and remodelling (STPP). The extensive accommodation currently includes an entrance porch leading into a reception hall and guest cloakroom. A door opens through to the dining kitchen with a large utility room next door. On the other side of the reception hall, there is a dining room. A beautiful open-plan snug/music room commands mesmerising views across the rear garden. From here, the floorplan unfolds to reveal a light-filled living room, again with a stunning outlook, and double doors open into a tranquil sitting room. Back in the snug, there is a slight level change, with a short flight of steps leading down into the games room. A conservatory adjoins, and double doors open into an indoor swimming pool. (The pool room requires refurbishment to reinstate an incredible luxury lifestyle. An AI picture shows the potential.) To the first floor, the landing leads to four double bedrooms, two en-suites, a family bathroom and another separate WC.

The sprawling existing footprint has already been greatly extended, but there is further endless scope for alteration, subject to planning consent.

Privately Situated and Peacefully Located…

This special plot totals 0.75 acres. To the front, a substantial driveway is screened from the road by mature shrubs, and with it comes more than enough parking for numerous vehicles around a landscaped turning circle leading to the house and double garage. The grounds are edged with a tapestry of flower borders, shrubs and a lawned front. Gated side access leads around to the most enviable west-facing rear garden, where a sunny patio, and stretches of lawn, take advantage of a wonderful setting. Beautifully landscaped with manicured banks of planting and tree surrounds that add the highest degree of privacy.

Please look through the photographs and see the video to get a true appreciation of this property with fabulous scope to remodel the layout to suit your needs. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that doesn’t come along often, it is now ready for its next chapter. AI pictures are included to show some potential ideas.
