4 bedroom detached house for sale

Wainwrights are pleased to present this substantial detached period house, set within an impressive 0.4 acre plot, discreetly positioned and accessed via a secluded private lane. The property represents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to complete a renovation project, with much of the work already undertaken.

Recent improvements include a newly refurbished luxury bathroom with underfloor heating and cloakroom, updated services, hot water cylinder, consumer unit, several new windows and a boarded, insulated loft. The remaining works allow the next owner to add value and to finish the home to their own taste.

Externally, the property benefits from ample off-road parking to the front and the grounds extend to the back, where there is a large garden containing a detached garage/storeroom, an imposing, mature Oak tree and a variety of other established vegetation. The majority of the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a 'diamond in the rough' which has the potential to become a truly spectacular property.

Saplings either side of the driveway provide future screening and mark the boundary to the front. The driveway offers ample off-road parking for several vehicles and is wide enough to allow turning. The house is detached with neighbouring properties set well away. The boundary to both sides is enclosed with wooden fencing and there is wide side access leading through to the rear garden, with timber fencing to the boundaries. The rear garden is generously sized and mainly laid to lawn, with planting beds to both sides containing established shrubs and a mature Oak tree to the far end. There is a paved patio area adjoining the house, a gravelled seating area, and both a metal shed with hardstanding and a timber-framed garage, which has electrical connection.

Key Improvements & Works Undertaken:
Based on information provided by the current owners, we understand that they have carried out extensive works over the past year to improve the structure, safety, and overall condition of the property. Structural works include a professional structural engineer’s survey, with subsequent strengthening of the roof structure, repairs to roof valleys, replacement of missing and damaged tiles, installation of chimney caps, and improved roof ventilation. New fascias and guttering have been fitted throughout, and the roof and external walls were cleared of ivy to prevent future damage. The property benefits from upgraded heritage-style aluminium double-glazed windows to the living room, dining room, two bedrooms, and bathroom, in keeping with the character of the house. All main services have been modernised. The electrical system has been upgraded to current standards with a new consumer unit and certification, and the supply has been simplified to a single meter. The gas system has been improved with a new correctly sized gas pipe, and the boiler has been serviced with a new thermostat fitted. Plumbing has been comprehensively updated, including a new soil stack, improved drainage, an upgraded hot water system with a pressure booster, and a larger water tank installed in the loft. A new upstairs bathroom and ground-floor cloakroom have been installed, both with modern fittings, updated plumbing, electrics and ventilation. The loft has been cleared and improved with safe access boards and lighting, and ventilation around the property has been checked and cleared. There is a septic tank at the property for sewerage, which costs £140 to empty. The septic tank has been emptied, upgraded with T-pipes, and fitted with a new inspection cover. In addition, surveys have confirmed cavity walls to the property (excluding the front gable), allowing for future insulation if desired. Building Regulation plans have also been submitted for a new kitchen and utility room, providing a clear pathway for future improvements. WE ADVISE POTENTIAL PURCHASERS MAKE THEIR OWN ENQUIRIES VIA THEIR CONVEYANCERS TO CONFIRM WHAT WORKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY THE CURRENT OWNERS.
