Summary - Hastingwood - Substantial Detached House - Nearly 5 Acres CM17 9JN
7 bed 4 bath Detached
Nearly 5 acres of mature gardens, paddock and specimen trees
Set within nearly five acres of mature gardens and paddock, this substantial detached country house offers roomy family living and flexible accommodation. The main house provides five bedrooms across two floors, generous reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast area, while a self-contained two-bedroom ground-floor annexe suits multigenerational use or rental income.
The grounds are a principal asset: formal lawns, specimen trees, a paved terrace, gravel driveway with turning area and a detached double garage sit alongside an informal paddock and attractive rural outlooks. The plot’s scale and layout give clear scope for landscaping improvement, ancillary outbuildings or potential subdivision subject to planning consent.
The property has been in one family for almost 60 years and, while well cared for, would benefit from updating and modernisation to maximise its potential. Practical considerations include very slow broadband, average mobile signal and a local crime statistic higher than average. This is a characterful period home for buyers who value space and privacy and are prepared to invest in sympathetic refurbishment.
Convenient road links to the M11 and nearby village amenities, together with local schools, make this an appealing option for families seeking country living within commuting distance. Chain-free tenure simplifies purchase, but interested buyers should allow for refurbishment costs and any planning requirements for changes to the house or grounds.
