About this listing

From the outside, this attractive traditional-style home has all the appearance of a bungalow. Step inside, however, and you quickly realise that there is far more to this property than first meets the eye. This is, in fact, a substantial detached house offering an exceptional amount of accommodation across two floors, with a layout that could be configured in numerous ways to suit its next owner. On the ground floor there is a sitting room, kitchen and three further rooms, all of which could be used as additional reception rooms or bedrooms depending on your requirements. Upstairs, the accommodation continues with a huge playroom, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the first floor also enjoying attractive views across the surrounding countryside. In its current form, the house could therefore provide as many as seven bedrooms. But that is only one option. For those looking for a more conventional family layout, the first floor could potentially be reconfigured to create a superb principal bedroom suite with en-suite and dressing room, alongside three or four further bedrooms. The ground-floor rooms could then become a home office, family room, playroom, snug or whatever best suits your lifestyle. And there is still more. Attached to the house is a garage and workshop. These provide extremely useful garaging, storage and utility space as they stand, but they also offer the possibility, subject to any necessary consents, of being incorporated into the main house to further increase the ground-floor accommodation. There is also a detached outbuilding of approximately 300 sq ft, previously used as a woodworking workshop. Again, the possibilities are considerable. It could make a fantastic large home office or studio, could potentially be converted to provide annexe accommodation, subject to planning permission, or an imaginative buyer might even explore incorporating it into the main house to create a spectacular kitchen/dining/family room opening directly onto the garden. The garden itself is an excellent size and, much like the house, would benefit from some love and attention. For the right buyer, however, that simply adds to the opportunity to create something genuinely special. Estate agents are perhaps guilty of using the word potential a little too freely, but with this property it is genuinely warranted. There is approximately 2,194 sq ft of space including the garage and workshop, rising to over 2,500 sq ft when the detached outbuilding is included. Combine that with the generous garden, countryside views from the first floor and the sheer flexibility of the existing accommodation, and there are an extraordinary number of possibilities here. For a large or multi-generational family, someone working from home, a buyer looking to create an annexe or simply someone wanting a substantial house they can redesign around their own lifestyle, this is a property well worth exploring. There may even be potential for alternative uses. Subject to planning permission (STPP), appropriate licensing and regulatory requirements, the scale and configuration of the accommodation could lend itself to investigation as a large HMO, with the possibility of creating a significant number of individual rooms.
