5 bedroom detached house for sale

DESCRIPTION
Lochwood enjoys a delightful setting within a small enclave of just three similar homes. The properties share a private bridge over a charming stream and a driveway, and are tucked just off the main road within easy, level walking distance of the Royal Military Canal and the High Street.

The property is being offered for sale on the open market for the first time since it was built in 1961 with the same family having lived there since. Whilst appearing to have been generally well maintained, it is fair to say that the property would now benefit from some general updating and improvement. It has been priced accordingly and offers considerable scope to create an exceptional home and is considered well worthy of any expenditure required.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a generous sitting room, dining room, kitchen with adjoining utility room, cloakroom, five bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room.

The gardens are a delight with lovely secluded seating areas, mature planting which has been carefully curated over the years to ensure year round interest, a workshop, a timber framed shed, summer house and an expanse of lawn. There is also a driveway providing off road parking and access to the integral garage.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
