Benefitting from a large wraparound garden, the property has been enhanced with an air source heat pump and solar panels, providing improved energy efficiency and reduced running costs. A particularly rare advantage is the existing planning permission for the construction of a detached three-bedroom dwelling within the grounds, creating exciting potential for future development, multi-generational living or an investment opportunity.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property presents a superb opportunity to create a wonderful family home in a sought-after rural setting.

About the property:

Originally constructed in the 1950s as a former local authority home, the property has been well maintained over the years and offers generously proportioned accommodation throughout. While perfectly comfortable as it stands, there is excellent scope for cosmetic updating, allowing a purchaser to modernise and personalise the interior to suit their own tastes and requirements.

The recent installation of an air source heat pump and solar photovoltaic panels significantly enhances the property's environmental credentials, providing an efficient and sustainable heating solution alongside reduced energy consumption. Combined with its generous plot, practical layout and development potential, this is a home that offers both immediate enjoyment and exciting long-term possibilities.

About the inside:

The accommodation is bright, spacious and well balanced, with large windows throughout allowing an abundance of natural light to fill the principal rooms.

To the front of the property, the dining room enjoys pleasant views over the front garden and features the original open fireplace, creating an attractive focal point. A traditional serving hatch connects the room to the kitchen, adding both character and practicality.

Spanning the full depth of the house, the impressive dual-aspect sitting room enjoys excellent natural light throughout the day and provides generous space for both seating and entertaining. A second open fireplace creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making this an ideal room for family life.

The adjoining kitchen offers ample storage and workspace and benefits from a useful walk-in pantry. Beyond the kitchen is a particularly practical range of ancillary accommodation comprising a workshop, plant room and ground floor WC, providing excellent storage, utility space or potential for further adaptation depending on individual requirements.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying pleasant outlooks over the gardens or surrounding countryside. These are served by a family bathroom with a separate WC, a practical arrangement for busy households.

About the outside:

The property occupies a generous corner plot with gardens extending around three sides, providing an exceptional amount of outside space rarely found with homes of this style. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens offer ample room for children to play, keen gardeners to enjoy, or for those wishing to create beautifully landscaped outdoor entertaining areas.

Backing directly onto open countryside, the rear garden enjoys a peaceful and private setting with an attractive rural outlook, enhancing the property's sense of space and tranquillity.

A truly outstanding feature is the planning permission already granted for the construction of a detached three-bedroom dwelling within the grounds. This presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking development potential, accommodation for extended family, or the prospect of creating an additional property for sale or rental, subject to the approved planning consent.

Further enhancing its appeal, the property is offered to the market with no onward chain, allowing for a straightforward purchase and the opportunity to move quickly. Combining generous accommodation, an excellent plot, energy-efficient improvements and significant development potential, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile home in an attractive countryside setting.
