Description
An Exceptional Opportunity with Superb Renovation Potential
This individual executive 1970s residence, set within approximately 7 acres (2.8 hectares) of adjoining grounds, paddocks, and a tennis court, presents a rare chance to acquire a property of scale and character with enormous scope for transformation.
Beautifully positioned in a picturesque and secluded rural setting on the outskirts of a most desirable hamlet, this home offers a unique blend of tranquillity, privacy, and outstanding potential for modernisation or redevelopment (subject to planning consents).
Ground Floor
Predominantly single-storey with a partial split-level design, the property currently provides substantial and well-planned accommodation. All principal rooms command fine views over the surrounding grounds and neighbouring woodland, offering an excellent framework for future renovation.
Existing features include a glazed reception hallway with original terrazzo tiled flooring, an impressive dining hall with a picture window overlooking the tennis court, and a spacious living room with a log-burning stove and feature exposed brick fireplace. The breakfast kitchen, family area, and utility rooms provide a generous footprint that could be reimagined into a contemporary open-plan design.
Split Level Above
A further double bedroom is accessed via a split staircase, along with the master suite. The master bedroom features a large balcony, fitted wardrobes, and his and her en suites – an ideal base for creating a luxurious principal retreat.
Split Level Below
The lower floor level incorporates a boiler room (with a recently replaced boiler), storeroom, and integral double garage with adjoining workshop and garden store.
Location & Grounds
Externally, the property is equally impressive, with extensive gardens, paddocks, a tennis court, and a woodland-enclosed paddock extending to around 5 acres. A sweeping driveway provides ample parking, complemented by a cedar wood garage and large timber storage shed.
Summary
This is a property of considerable scale and stature, offering superb renovation potential to create a contemporary country residence in a sought-after rural location. With its combination of generous living space, extensive grounds, and enviable setting, it represents an outstanding opportunity for those seeking to modernise or redevelop a home to their own specification.
