Property description
A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase this substantial and highly individual detached house, occupying a sizeable walled garden plot with wraparound private gardens, off-street parking, detached garage and a separate self-contained annex, currently operating as a successful Airbnb.
Arranged over two floors and extending to over 1500 sq. ft, including the annex, the property offers superb versatility and considerable scope for adaptation to suit a variety of requirements. The garden grounds and detached garage would now benefit from upgrading, presenting an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking a property with further development potential, additional Airbnb possibilities or simply the opportunity to create delightful garden grounds serving the main residence, all subject to any necessary planning consents/permissions.
The welcoming entrance hallway features an attractive open staircase providing access to the upper floor. A particularly impressive reception room enjoys a dual-aspect, with French doors opening directly onto the terrace. A central fireplace creates an attractive focal point, complemented by a contemporary media wall. The adjoining sitting room/formal dining room enjoys an open-plan connection to the principal reception space, while doors provide access to both the hallway and kitchen. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, complemented by work surfaces incorporating a range cooker. A further door from the kitchen provides direct access to the garden and offers the flexibility to serve as an alternative, or indeed main, entrance to the property if desired. On the upper floor, there are three generous double bedrooms together with a family shower room. The principal bedroom benefits from extensive wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage, and is further enhanced by French doors opening onto a large private balcony. Further benefits include a sizeable attic, gas central heating and double glazing.
The separate annex provides an exceptionally versatile and contemporary space, enjoying excellent natural light and its own private entrance. French doors open directly into the spacious lounge/dining room, with a double bedroom and stylish three-piece bathroom completing the accommodation. Currently operating as a profitable Airbnb, the annex offers an attractive additional income opportunity, while alternatively providing ideal accommodation for a dependent relative, guest suite or extended family living. It could also potentially be incorporated into the main residence, subject to any necessary alterations, consents and permissions.
Currently requiring some upgrading, the extensive grounds offer excellent potential and comprise sizeable walled gardens extending to the front, side and rear of the property, together with convenient off-street parking to the front. A detached garage is also located within the grounds.
