Description
Enjoying arguably the finest rural view in the locality and set in a fantastic plot of circa 1.2 acre, a large and flexible detached bungalow with quadruple garage, tandem garage and stunning gardens
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
What is your priority in your search for your next home? If a truly fantastic rural view and a mature, tranquil yet well connected lane are top of the list, then you will find no better offering than this magnificent one off individual property, which has been in the same ownership for the last thirty eight years. It is a home that can be moved into and immediately enjoyed with no need for significant capital expenditure. Likewise (and subject to relevant planning permission being granted) there is significant scope for further development, enhancement and extension of space if required.
If you believe in the idea that you only get once chance to make a great first impression, then you will love the driveway approach to the dwelling and outbuildings. The long gravelled approach provides an inspirational arrival experience and is something of which you will not tire.
The bungalow itself is large, flexible, light and has been extended, continually invested in and carefully maintained in my clients time of ownership. With 1851 square feet of space, there is plenty of room, and all the rooms on the back elevation get to enjoy the magnificent vista. The floorplan details the layout and scope of the space on offer.
**
Externally the mature and private plot extends to circa 1.25 acre in total and has large lawned gardens, a vegetable patch, a small pond and beautifully stocked beds and borders, providing an abundance of colour and maturity. The outbuildings comprise a quadruple garage and additional tandem garage with store and provide a combined space of 1114 square feet.
When you walk the grounds, take in the plot and spend time in the home, if you are anything like me you will fall in love what this property is and recognise all it has to offer both now and in the future. It is absolutely captivating and the view is interesting, far reaching and beautiful. The lane itself is a delight and has a small select collection of highly individual and high quality houses.
What an opportunity this is and with both a competitive guide price and no ongoing chain, quick legal completion can also be granted if required.
