Five bedrooms with family bathroom and separate shower room
Set well back from a quiet country lane, this substantial five-bedroom detached home occupies a large, private plot in Blymhill Common. The original 1840 cottage was sympathetically extended in 1970 to create generous family accommodation including an entertainment kitchen-diner, conservatory, reception rooms and flexible office/snug space. Owned solar panels on the garage currently generate an income (vendor estimate c. £3,000/year).
Outdoor space is a standout: gated gravel drive, double detached garage with upper storage (annex conversion potential subject to permissions), a separate multi-room wooden workshop ideal for a small home business, and extensive lawns with paddock-like land and open countryside views. The property’s services are modern in part – ground-source heat pump and underfloor heating – helping running-cost efficiency.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect heavy home-working or streaming without alternative solutions. Some external buildings and parts of the grounds show scope for improvement or redevelopment depending on planning. Bedroom five requires removal of fitted wardrobes before confirming use as a proper bedroom. Prospective buyers should verify the solar income figure and any planning constraints for conversions.
This home will best suit a family or buyer seeking rural living with versatile outbuildings and conversion potential. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, setting and the opportunities this period property offers.
