St Marys Way, Chalfont St. Peter, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, SL9

Detached house set in a desirable village location offering excellent scope for development/improvement.

Description

Ideally positioned, set on a desirable private estate in the village of Chalfont St. Peter, this detached family home, dating back to about 1935, is now in need of modernisation and offers an exciting project for re-development or renovation subject to the usual planning consents. Set back from the road, the property benefits from a single garage and attached car port alongside a mature garden to the front and side.

The front door opens into a reception hall, with stairs to the first floor and leads through to the main ground floor accommodation. A generously proportioned triple-aspect sitting room offers wonderful views across the garden and access to the outside terrace, complemented by an adjacent dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the frontage with a range of units and worktop space complemented by integrated appliances. Just off the kitchen, a bathroom incorporates a utility area, with space and plumbing for appliances. Beyond here a further room is currently utilised as a bedroom but could easily be reconfigured as additional reception or office space, with a door to the garden.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in wardrobes and served by a family bathroom.

A private driveway provides off street parking and leads to a single garage, attached car port and useful shed. The garden wraps around the house, with large areas of lawn to the front and side. Features include well stocked beds and borders alongside an ornamental pond in the corner and productive apple and pear trees. A corner terrace gives the ideal spot for outside dining and to enjoy the garden.
