Tanglewood
Tanglewood is a detached house well set back within a wooded acreage plot and offers a spacious and much loved family home with its original vintage 1960’s charm and features - now suited to full cosmetic updating throughout. The house offers a very practical and quite sizeable layout, as a 4 bedroom/3 reception room family home. Also on the ground floor is a separate annexe with its own front entrance. This offers the potential for multi-generational living or a guest wing/working from home set up that is fully self-contained.

In further detail:
The entrance porch leads into the generous hallway with turning stairs to the first floor. The ground floor cloakroom has a window to the side, WC and basin. The study has two windows. The main sitting room is a good size and has large picture windows to the side and French doors to the rear, it is a bright and open room also giving access to a rear patio. There is a large feature brick fireplace with tiled hearth and open fire grate.

The dining room opens into the kitchen via bi-folding louvre doors. There is a large picture window to the front in the dining room and the kitchen space offers plenty of room for free-standing appliances and freestanding furniture with a uPVC window overlooking the rear gardens and sink unit/cupboards below. The inner hall leading off the kitchen has a glazed uPVC door & window out to the gardens and a large boiler cupboard housing the Grant Oil boiler serving the central heating.

A door leads to the single storey annexe – this offers a utility room or potential kitchenette with uPVC window to the rear and a door into the living room/home office space – a large room with vintage pine cladding, large picture window and glazed door (with direct access) to the front. There is a further small hallway leading to the spacious bedroom 5 with a uPVC French door to the rear, and an en-suite shower room.

Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to all rooms with two windows to the front. Bedroom one, to the rear is a good size room and has triple sliding door wardrobes with double-hanging space and a large picture window. The airing cupboard is alongside. The family bathroom offers a bath, WC, pedestal basin, bidet, shower cubicle and window to the rear. Whilst updating this room in our opinion it could potentially be divided to create an en-suite alongside bedroom one. The second bedroom is also a good size with lovely outlook to the rear. Bedroom three has windows to the front and side and bedroom four also with windows to the front and other side.

Outside
The grounds of Tanglewood offer ample space around the home being well set-back from the road, with a long sweeping carriage driveway off the road providing ample parking and a lovely approach. The plot extends to approx. 1.43 acres, or 0.58 ha and is heavily treed with established oaks and other hardwoods, mixed hedges and ranch-fencing alongside some of the neighbouring property boundaries. The plot tapers to the rear and leads down to the bank of the River Lark with direct water access. There is huge scope to add your own touches to the gardens, ideal for any keen gardener, or simply enjoy the natural surroundings and space around you. Alternatively, offering ample space to potentially extend and further develop the property if this is required (subject to planning permission).
