Almost 4,000 sq ft of heavily extended, versatile accommodation

Separate outbuildings: gym, games room/bar, garages, potential annexe (stp)
Outdoor swimming pool with patio; pool and grounds require ongoing maintenance

Two bathrooms serving five bedrooms; likely need for modernisation
Set within about one acre and surrounded by open farmland, this heavily extended detached house offers almost 4,000 sq ft of adaptable living. The ground floor provides multiple reception rooms including a sunroom, study, and a large kitchen/breakfast room; upstairs are five bedrooms, a principal with modern en-suite and Juliet balcony overlooking fields. Separate outbuildings include garages, a gymnasium and a games room/bar that could serve as annex or home-business space (subject to planning).
Outdoor features include a private patio and an outdoor swimming pool with paved surrounds, generous gardens and a long driveway. The site’s scale and rural setting will suit buyers seeking seclusion and scope for further improvement or reconfiguration.
Important practical points: heating is oil-fired with conventional boiler and radiators; walls are cavity with no insulation assumed; broadband speeds are very slow. There are just two bathrooms for five bedrooms, and the property dates from the mid-20th century so many systems and finishes may need updating. Pool and extensive grounds will require ongoing maintenance.
This is a rare, flexible opportunity for a family wanting space and countryside privacy, or for someone looking to refurbish and repurpose the outbuildings. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and potential on offer.
