Set within approximately an acre of private woodland, this Edwardian detached house presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a character property with enormous potential. Surrounded by mature trees and a natural setting that provides both privacy and seclusion, the house combines period charm with the promise of a rewarding refurbishment project. While the property requires comprehensive renovation, it has the significant benefit of a recently renewed slate roof, providing a solid foundation for future works. Offered to the market chain free, this is an exceptional chance to create a bespoke home in a truly special location.

The ground floor offers generous proportions and a traditional layout with multiple reception spaces that lend themselves to both formal entertaining and comfortable family living. Original features typical of the Edwardian era are present, offering the opportunity to retain and enhance the character of the property during its restoration. The flow of rooms provides a versatile arrangement, with ample scope for reconfiguration to suit modern needs.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises a series of bedrooms arranged around a central landing, each enjoying views over the surrounding woodland. The accommodation is well balanced, with plenty of space to create a comfortable principal bedroom suite alongside additional rooms ideal for family, guests or work-from-home use.

Externally, the house is set within around an acre of woodland, accessed via a right of way along a long treelined driveway from Coombe Lane. The grounds provide a tranquil and picturesque environment, perfectly complementing the character of the house. Outbuildings and ancillary spaces offer further potential for storage or workshop use, subject to renovation. This unique setting, coupled with the scope to transform the property, makes it a highly desirable project for those looking to create a dream home in an idyllic and private location.
