Spinney House is a roomy seven-bedroom detached home set in about 1.36 acres (STS) on the edge of sought-after Knossington. The house offers five reception rooms, a large breakfast kitchen and extensive grounds including a spinney and a small stream crossed by a timber bridge. Change of use from commercial to residential (25/00805/FUL) is already granted, simplifying residential occupation.
The property is best for a growing or extended family wanting generous indoor space and private outdoor grounds, or for buyers who see renovation potential. Internally the layout provides flexible living over roughly 3,300 sq ft — ample scope to reconfigure rooms, update services and create a modern family home while retaining mature planting and waterside interest. There is fast broadband and a peaceful village setting with good local schools and low crime.
Notable practical points: the house needs renovation and modernisation, the former double garage has been internally converted to a games room (exterior doors remain), and heating is supplied by LPG. There is no mobile signal at the property, which may affect some buyers. Off-street parking is good with space for several cars and a second vehicular access.
For buyers seeking space, privacy and a chance to add value, this is a rare village plot with versatile accommodation and a sizeable garden. The combination of a large footprint, multiple reception rooms and the granted residential classification makes it suitable for family occupation or alternative residential uses (subject to any further consents).
