Set in an exceptionally private and picturesque countryside position, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.7 acres, approached via a private driveway and surrounded by mature grounds. The property enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting, set well back from the road and offering far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The home provides extensive existing accommodation together with significant development potential, having previously benefited from planning permission to remove the existing flat roof and construct a full second storey, transforming the property into a substantial two-storey family residence. Although this permission has now lapsed, the concept demonstrates the scope available to significantly enhance and reconfigure the property, subject to the necessary consents. The grounds are a particular highlight. The plot is completely private, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature planting which creates a peaceful and secluded environment. To the front of the property is a large gated driveway providing extensive parking and turning space, together with access to a double garage. The gardens extend around all sides of the property, allowing the home to fully enjoy its tranquil setting. Internally, the accommodation is generous and versatile. A large entrance hallway forms the centre of the home. To the left-hand side there are four double bedrooms, all well proportioned, together with a family bathroom featuring a full-sized bath, a utility room, and a cloakroom. To the rear of the property are two substantial reception rooms. Both enjoy double doors opening onto the rear garden, creating an excellent space for entertaining and enjoying the surrounding views. One of the reception rooms features a characterful fireplace and provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor. To the right-hand side of the hallway, the kitchen provides further access to a large formal dining room, comfortably accommodating a 12-seat dining table, making it an ideal space for family gatherings or entertaining. The first floor currently forms an impressive master suite, comprising a spacious bedroom, walk-through dressing area, en-suite bathroom, and a balcony which enjoys far-reaching panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from double glazing throughout, oil-fired central heating, and private drainage via a septic tank. It should be noted that the flat roofing currently experiences leaking gutters during periods of rainfall, which has resulted in some water ingress and internal damage. Prospective purchasers should take this into consideration when assessing the property and planning refurbishment works. Overall, this property offers a unique opportunity to secure a substantial home in a beautiful rural setting, with the ability to modernise, remodel or redevelop to create a truly exceptional country residence. The property is being offered for sale by Informal Tender, allowing interested parties the opportunity to fully inspect and assess the project during a fixed marketing period. Viewings are encouraged throughout the marketing phase, enabling purchasers to carry out appropriate investigations and cost assessments prior to submitting their offer.
