Detached house with annexe and swimming pool.

Description

A most appealing property situated in a slightly elevated position approached over a long entrance drive occupying a non-isolated, semi-rural position on the fringes of Southminster village. In brief the house provides three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a conservatory. The property offers potential for extension, subject to the necessary consents along with a detached annexe ideal for multiple living arrangements and/or working from home. The property enjoys a glorious setting with farmland views and occupies a garden of 1.16 acres.

The house provides comfortable family accommodation of around 1,700 sq ft orientated to make the most of its peaceful setting. There are two principal receptions rooms, conservatory, study, cloakroom and a utility room. The kitchen/breakfast room is located to the rear corner of the house and opens to a small lobby providing garden access. Each of the three first floor double bedrooms enjoy far-reaching, predominantly rural views, a galleried landing, large bathroom and separate WC.

There is loft space currently being used for storage purposes and offering the potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The annexe includes two, well proportioned rooms and a central shower room.

The annexe is discreetly positioned behind the house and offers excellent potential to be improved and/or redeveloped to make an ideal space for multigenerational living or a self-contained work-from-home space.

In December 2005 planning was approved to construct a replacement dwelling of the main house to provide a 3,200 sq ft new-build design house (Application number: FUL/MAL/05/10195). This has now lapsed.

The site includes one other property which also has a right of access over the drive and paddock beyond.

Outside
The property occupies a rectangular-shaped plot and is approached over a long sweeping drive leading to a detached garage. The gardens are located to the front and rear of the property and benefit from large expanses of lawn and a heated swimming pool with a terraced seating area. To the rear of the garden is the detached annexe.

All in around 1.16 acres.

Services
Mains water, private drainage, oil and electricity are connected to the property.
