Description

An extremely rare opportunity to purchase a spectacular residence set in grounds approaching 1.2 acres. With two detached auxiliary buildings currently laid out as two bedroom annexes along with an outdoor swimming pool, sunken hot tub, summer house and further potential for a triple garage under permitted development. Enjoying open fields and countryside views, the property is conveniently located for Stockton Heath and Warrington, with the M56 motorway less than two miles away. This provides excellent connectivity to both North-South and East-West motorway networks, while nearby rail links offer journey times to London of approximately 1 hour 40 minutes.
****
The property is accessed via electric gates, down a tree lined driveway and with a frontage of over half an acre, the property remains private and set away from the road. Entering the main house, the central hallway has a guest WC and immediately shows off the characterful features that are present throughout the home. Three reception rooms give spacious versatile living accommodation whilst a large conservatory with underfloor heating offers a fantastic entertaining space with bar. The kitchen is fitted with a traditional country kitchen including Rangemaster cooker, granite work surfaces and breakfasting island. A utility room and gardeners WC completes the ground floor.

To the first floor there is a galleried landing with four double bedrooms, master en-suite with steam room and shower plus a family bathroom.

Externally the property is surrounded by manicured gardens extending to 1.2 acres with mature trees and allotment space. Various patio areas are sun traps by day and subtly lit by night with a pergola, heated swimming pool and sunken hot tub. A summer house with sliding doors provides covered seating and gym area.

Originally the double garage, the now two bedroom annex has been extended with a large conservatory and benefits from kitchen, living space and shower room making a fantastic detached home for a relative or external office space.

A further chalet style annexe is to the rear of the plot and is currently laid out with two bedrooms, kitchen and living area along with a shower room. An attractive terrace patio to the rear of the chalet overlooks open fields behind.

A truly unique property which has significant potential should a buyer wish to develop further including the opportunity to build a triple garage under permitted development.

The property is also sold with no onward chain.

  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
