A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored Victorian residence, originally built in 1881 as a Coach House, occupying private grounds of approximately 0.7 acres.
Accessed via a sweeping carriage driveway behind electric gates, the property sits well back from the road and is surrounded by mature trees, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Rich in character and period charm, the accommodation offers a welcoming blend of original features and comfortable modern living. The ground floor comprises a vestibule with underfloor heating, an impressive entrance hall with parquet flooring and a log-burning stove, a spacious sitting room with an open fireplace, a cosy snug, kitchen/dining room, conservatory, utility room and cloakroom. Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom, while one also enjoys the added luxury of a walk-in wardrobe.
The current owners have a planning application under consideration (app no P/26/02560/HOU) for a substantial single-storey extension of approximately 1,100 sq ft. which would create a luxury master suite with dressing room and en-suite alongside an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family space with full-width sliding doors opening onto the garden.
Outside, the extensive garage complex provides outstanding versatility, comprising a tandem double garage and a separate triple garage with tiled flooring, a shower room and sauna. Whether used for vehicle storage, boating equipment, a home gym, workshop or future redevelopment (subject to planning), this space offers enormous potential.
The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's most impressive features. Enjoying a south-westerly aspect, the grounds are beautifully maintained, level and wonderfully private. A charming Victorian folly and original garden wall provide a unique focal point, creating a peaceful setting in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Combining period character, exceptional privacy and exciting future potential, this is a truly special home in a remarkable setting.
