What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group
This unique family home premises is deemed as a residential smallholding/dwelling, albeit the established barns and buildings have been used over recent decades for a variety of purposes including a mother and toddler group, alongside builder's storage and agricultural vehicle maintenance. There is potential scope for commercial uses subject to planning.
What The Owner Says
We have enjoyed living here for over 20 years and the facilities have served us well for our own extended family living requirements, together with the outbuildings providing storage and home business opportunities. The buildings might offer great alternative uses for the incoming buyer with endless possibilities for any permissible rural business or storage facilities. There is no planning for commercial uses at present nor have we ever made any application for such.
History & Background
An exciting opportunity to acquire a five-bedroom former smallholding with 3768 sq ft Ancillary buildings, extensive parking, and a paddock - 2 Acres. The property, formerly a smallholding, has been developed over the years to provide largely extended and improved family accommodation with up to five ground and first-floor bedrooms, Within the ground floor layout is a separate annexe area for multigenerational living, or the annexe rooms could be utilised as a part of the main living if preferred. Furthermore, there is a superb, attached outbuilding (former stables) that is currently used as a games room/entertainment/snooker room. This room could also be used as dance/fitness studio/private hobby club, heated from the main house.
The family has enjoyed the extensive outbuildings for a variety of uses which range from a mother and Toddler Group in the detached air con building (with gas heating (from bottles) and water) with adjacent outside, enclosed safety surfaced play areas, and a large log cabin. The large workshop barn, with mezzanine storage and electricity connected, is currently used for builders' storage and there are extensive parking and yard areas amongst other useful storage outbuildings. The premises allow for a rear paddock and a former front paddock where the open fronted barn could be suited to accommodate internal stables for those with equestrian interests. The paddock might also be an ideal area for doggy daycare/agility stp.
Potential buyers must be made aware that the property is within Greenbelt.
Setting & Location
The property is situated down a no-through road which provides access to Risebridge Golf Centre (so golf enthusiasts should be in their element from being within a short walk of the course). To the north is the protected Bedfords Park, over 200 acres of historic parkland for general enjoyment of dog walks and/or nature, which is owned by the London Borough of Havering. An incredible pocket of semi-rural country living within the M25 and in Greater London, yet only 2.5 miles from Romford’s center and National Rail Station and just over 13 miles from London’s City Airport.
The house is situated in a slightly elevated position, set well back 150 yards from the road behind heavy steel automated security gates and fencing. The driveway continues past the main residence to rear parking and beyond are two further areas of significant hardstand for storage and parking – perhaps offering a suitable area for an operator’s license subject to a successful application. As mentioned, the neighbouring property has achieved commercial uses on their established outbuildings, albeit the circumstances of application may differ for each property address.
The property does lie within the area of ULEZ (ultra-low emissions zone) where charges may be applicable.
Accommodation
Please refer to the floor plan for the layout. The property offers versatile and well-proportioned ground floor accommodation of generous proportion, providing at least three reception rooms (or up to six reception rooms including the annexe) with the large family room enjoying a wood-burning (multi-fuel) stove fire and the front rooms offer a raised terrace overlooking the main gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room offers modern cabinetry beneath granite worktops and some built-in appliances with further space for a farmhouse-style table. Both the ground floor and first floor bath/shower rooms are modern, as too the service rooms where there are two boilers (via mains gas). The substantial rear games room has been enjoyed over the years for a variety of purposes, more latterly as a games/snooker room with lounge bar where there are two sets of triple bifold doors open onto the outdoor terrace/bbq area adjacent to the open fronted garaging.
Upstairs are three generous-sized air-conditioned bedrooms including a luxurious style en-suite and main bathroom.
Outbuildings , Yards and Paddock
The incoming buyer has plenty of scope for permissible uses. Generally, home storage and private uses for existing established outbuildings are permissible. The existing buildings offer great scope for those who have enjoyment and hobbies such as vehicle storage and for those who enjoy model railway (on a serious scale), dog agility with space for lessons, or sports (a gymnasium or Marshall arts training area), or a home office - where the main outbuilding (mother & toddler group) incorporates two w.c’s and two home office/storage rooms.
