A detached bungalow offering a superb development opportunity with an adjacent barn, outbuilding and paddock.

Description

This property offers exceptional potential for those seeking to enhance and add value to a home that occupies a truly wonderful position in this most convenient and popular location. Originally built in the 1960’s and now offering the benefit of immediate vacant possession, the property has simply breath-taking, panoramic views to the rear. Set well back from the road and approached via an enclosed gated entrance, a paved driveway sweeps to the front of the property with a good size paddock to one side. A further five bar gate leads through to the rear grounds that include a large storage barn, which again may offer some development potential. There is ample parking for numerous vehicles both on the driveway and within the attached garage. With double glazing throughout, the entrance door leads through to the central hallway with the two principal reception rooms set to the rear. The sitting room is of a good proportion, with dual aspect windows - the largest of which perfectly frames the superb country views. The working fireplace provides a focal point to the room with recessed book shelving to one side. The formal dining room could potentially be opened up into the kitchen area with sliding patio doors to the garden and a small snug makes a fine office overlooking the front grounds. The cloakroom also houses the airing cupboard with a lagged hot water tank and security control panel. An oak fitted kitchen leads through to a dedicated utility room with work surfaces and plumbing for wash appliances and a free-standing Dominion oil fired central heating boiler. An enclosed porch has an internal door into the garage with work bench, space for one car plus storage and electric roller shutter doors. The bedroom accommodation is located to one side of the property with three bedrooms and the family bathroom. There are lawned gardens to both front and rear with a large entertaining terrace from which to sit and enjoy the lovely outlook across the open countryside. A large pond is set beyond the terrace with an enclosed lawn leading via a gate into a good size paddock which extends to the rear of the barn. Both the barn and the former cow shed have the benefit of power and light and either of these buildings would be perfect for those seeking to convert to ancillary accommodation.
