Property Description - Smart Millerson Estate Agents are proud to present this truly exceptional four-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying an enviable elevated position within a substantial plot and commanding spectacular panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Offering an outstanding combination of space, versatility and future potential, this remarkable residence provides an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in a sought-after rural setting, whilst also benefitting from full planning permission for an additional four-bedroom detached dormer bungalow within its grounds.

From the moment you arrive, the property impresses with its commanding presence, extensive grounds and uninterrupted rural outlook. The elevated setting allows the home to take full advantage of the stunning countryside vistas, creating a peaceful and private environment that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Whether relaxing indoors or spending time in the garden, the ever-changing landscape provides a wonderful backdrop to everyday living.

Internally, the property offers generously proportioned accommodation throughout, with a layout that has been designed to provide both comfort and practicality. A bright and welcoming entrance hallway serves as the central hub of the home, creating an immediate sense of space and leading seamlessly to the principal reception and bedroom accommodation. The impressive lounge is a particularly noteworthy feature, offering an expansive living space ideal for both family life and entertaining guests. Large windows allow natural light to flood the room while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The bungalow boasts four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each providing ample space for a growing family, visiting guests, or those seeking dedicated home office accommodation. The well-appointed shower room has been thoughtfully designed and features a large double shower cubicle, offering both style and convenience.

At the heart of the home lies the spacious kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, cupboards and drawers, providing an abundance of storage and workspace for everyday cooking and entertaining. The addition of a separate pantry further enhances the practicality of the kitchen, offering valuable extra storage and helping to keep the main kitchen area uncluttered and organised. The layout lends itself perfectly to modern family living, with excellent potential for future reconfiguration should a purchaser wish to create an even larger open-plan kitchen and dining environment.

Further enhancing the accommodation is a rear internal hallway which provides access to a range of highly useful ancillary spaces, including a utility room, boiler room, workshop and separate WC. These additional rooms offer exceptional flexibility and practicality, catering perfectly to the demands of modern family life while also providing excellent storage and workspace options.

One of the property's most exciting features is the substantial loft space. Fully boarded and offering sufficient head height to comfortably stand, this impressive area presents significant potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to any necessary planning permissions and building regulations. Whether envisioned as further bedrooms, a home office suite, hobby room, games room or additional reception space, the loft provides purchasers with the opportunity to further enhance an already generous home.

Externally, the property continues to impress. Accessed via a gated entrance, a sweeping driveway meanders through the grounds, creating an attractive approach before arriving at extensive off-road parking suitable for numerous vehicles. The generous driveway and parking facilities make the property ideal for families, those with recreational vehicles, or anyone requiring space for guests and visitors. Surrounding the property are extensive wrap-around gardens, predominantly laid to lawn, which beautifully complement the home's elevated position and provide an excellent degree of privacy. To the rear, a generous patio area creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining, outdoor entertaining, or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the stunning far-reaching countryside views. The expansive gardens offer an ideal environment for families, keen gardeners and those looking to embrace a peaceful rural lifestyle.

The detached double garage provides further practicality and is fitted with individual electric doors for convenience. A particularly rare addition is the full-length inspection pit, offering excellent facilities for vehicle maintenance, classic car enthusiasts, tradespeople or those requiring workshop space. Combined with the adjoining workshop and extensive parking, the property offers an exceptional level of functionality seldom found in similar homes.

What truly distinguishes this property from others on the market is the significant development opportunity it presents. Full planning permission has been granted for the construction of a four-bedroom detached dormer bungalow within the property's boundary (Planning Reference: PA26/01457). This valuable consent opens a wealth of possibilities for prospective purchasers, whether they are seeking multi-generational living arrangements, accommodation for dependent relatives, an income-generating opportunity, or an exciting development project. Opportunities of this nature are increasingly scarce, making this an exceptionally attractive proposition for a wide range of buyers.

Combining spacious and versatile accommodation, outstanding countryside views, extensive parking and garaging, substantial grounds, and valuable development potential, this unique property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that not only meets the needs of modern family living but also offers considerable scope for future growth and investment.

The property is connected to mains water, electricity and drainage, benefits from oil-fired central heating, and falls within Council Tax Band C.

This is to protect the interests of all the owners. A single owner cannot sell or transfer the property alone without an order from the Land Registry official or a court of law.
