Summary - 6, Oakwood Lane, Acton ST5 4FD
Approximately 5 acres of paddocks, generous lawns and tennis court
Set within approximately 5 acres of paddocks, lawns and woodland-edge views, this substantial 1970s detached home offers rare scale and scope in a quiet village setting. The existing layout provides four bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple reception rooms and extensive outbuildings including an integral double garage with workshop plus separate cedar garage and large timber shed.
The house has genuine renovation potential and comes with approved planning consent to create a larger dwelling, making it suitable for a family seeking a long-term country base or a buyer wanting to reconfigure and modernise. Many principal rooms enjoy views over the grounds and tennis court; the master suite already includes dressing accommodation and two en suites that could form the basis of a luxury principal retreat.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be factored into any plan: the property needs renovation, has oil-fired heating (new boiler installed Jan 2024), very slow broadband (predicted up to 2Mbps), double glazing installed before 2002 and only partial cavity wall insulation. Council tax is high and the EPC is currently low. There is a backup generator and mains services connected.
This is a substantial, chain-free opportunity for buyers comfortable with refurbishment or redevelopment (subject to consents). Its size, grounds and approved plans are the principal strengths; realistic budgeting for modernisation and connectivity improvement will be required to unlock the property’s full potential.
