Charming semi-detached property with planning permission to create a family home of 3,500 sq ft, set in delightful gardens with countryside views.

Description

Stonesmead is a charming semi-detached property offering excellent scope to renovate and extend, having the benefit of planning permission to create a substantial family home of approx. 3,500 sq ft. This is an excellent opportunity for potential purchasers to tailor the house to their own requirements. Of particular note are the charming, established gardens which amount to about 2.75 acres, stabling and barn, and the delightful views over the surrounding countryside.

Reception rooms comprise the dual aspect sitting room with deep bay window enjoying views to the south west and access to the gardens and a dining room also with garden access.

The kitchen is fitted with a range wall and base units with integral appliances and space for further appliances together with a peninsular breakfast bar and access to the integral garage.

The integral garage leads to a utility room with sink and additional storage and a separate WC.

A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor and three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys countryside views and an en suite bathroom and there is also a family bathroom and storage cupboards to the landing.

Stonesmead is well set back from the road, approached via a long sweeping driveway flanked in part by established mixed woodland to either side and which opens out to the open parkland gardens before forking to provide access to the outbuildings, house and garage.

The delightful established gardens are a particular feature of the property, wrapping the property to three sides and predominantly laid to lawn/pasture, enjoying a south-westerly aspect with views over the countryside. The gardens are interspersed with underplanted seasonal blubs and a variety of deciduous and evergreen shrubs, trees and hedging, providing year round interest.
