Summary - WINKLEIGH HOUSE, OAKLAND ROAD GL17 9JX
Freehold four-bedroom detached house, approx. 5,217 sq ft total
Winkleigh House is a substantial mid-20th-century detached property set on approximately 2/3 acre and positioned directly adjacent to open woodland. The house offers four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large footprint (about 5,217 sq ft total), giving immediate space for a family or a buyer seeking visible development potential. Numerous outbuildings and expansive lawns provide practical storage and flexibility for garden redesign or ancillary uses.
The property is sold freehold and benefits from planning permission (P1212/23/OUT and P1213/23/FUL) for extensions to the main house and the erection of a pair of semi‑detached houses, which materially increases development options for an owner-occupier or small-scale developer. Main heating is oil-fired boiler with radiators; there is no flood risk indicated and mobile signal is excellent.
The house requires complete modernisation throughout: the kitchen, bathrooms and many internal fixtures are dated and there is a need for full renovation works to bring the property to contemporary standards. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is above average — factors to consider if remote working or running a business from home is important.
This is a property aimed at buyers who value space, privacy and woodland-adjacent countryside living and who are prepared to invest in refurbishment or to progress the approved development. The location offers good access to strong local schooling options, including a nearby outstanding secondary school, making it a practical family purchase once modernisation is factored in.
