Description

Littledale offers a unique opportunity to acquire a property which has never been presented to the market. The build was commissioned by the current owners grandparents in 1962, and it has remained in the family since.

The property requires modernisation throughout, but offers wonderful potential to create a beautiful forever home!

From the entrance hall is the spacious and dual aspect living room with views over the gardens, the dining room, conservatory and kitchen. Also on this floor is a utility room and a cloakroom.

On the first floor there are four good sized double bedrooms, all enjoying views over the grounds, and the family bathroom.

The property is approached onto a long private driveway, previously a railway line, with a right of access for one property positioned to the right hand side of the driveway opening.

There is parking for a few vehicles in addition to the carport at the front of the house, and the garage. Attached to the garage is a WC and two store rooms.

To the side of the house is a large outbuilding, which could be converted subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The grounds are a really special feature, and starred in The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953), the first Ealing Comedy in colour. Mature gardens wrap around three sides of the house, featuring a large Weeping Willow; and fields beyond. It really is a case of location, location, location!

In all approximately 19.17 acres. EPC: E.

What Three Words: ///boil.rider.brandedLittledale occupies an exceptional and enviable rural setting with extensive grounds, just a few miles from the World Heritage site of Bath.
