5 bedroom detached house for sale

Polished Victorian family home with planning permission.

Description

The Red House is a striking Victorian house with origins dating back to circa 1870. Attention to detail can be seen throughout, as the current owners have recently and sympathetically modernised and improved, creating an immaculate, versatile and fantastically proportioned family home.

A delightful mix between contemporary and period features, generous ceiling heights and bay windows create a spacious, light and airy atmosphere, whilst beautiful wooden flooring, chic and welcoming kitchen and pantry; and beautiful decoration throughout provide a warm ambiance. Generous reception rooms including sitting room, dining room and snug, with two wood burners, all offering excellent entertaining areas. The cellar and downstairs cloakroom are added bonuses too.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms (one with en suite shower room), a single room (potential for dressing room, en suite, or even a study) , spacious landing and modern family bathroom.

Outside is a charming low maintenance garden mostly laid to lawn, perfect for summer entertaining. Enclosed by a wall border, mature trees, shrubs, flower borders and patio areas are to be enjoyed too.

Excitingly, planning permission has already been approved (REF S/2020/1623/FUL) to incorporate the detached barn to the rear of the property, to create additional accommodation. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop this home further, to extend the kitchen and create a more sizeable utility area too. There is also impressive potential and numerous possibilities to convert the barn into office space, an annexe or even a secondary income.
