Summary - Wellbrook Place, Hammer Lane, Vines Cross TN21 9HF
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial 5-bed Victorian house on 4.5 acres with coach house and tennis court.
Five large bedrooms with principal suite and dressing room
An exceptional late-Victorian/Edwardian country house set within about 4.5 acres of formally landscaped gardens, lakes and productive kitchen gardens. The main house offers very large, characterful rooms with high ceilings, a striking contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, five generously proportioned bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing room and luxury en-suite, plus a useful cellar and extensive leisure space currently arranged as a games room.
The grounds are a major strength: sweeping gravel driveway with electric gates and extensive parking, an all‑weather tennis court, large ornamental pond and feature lake with jetty, two greenhouses and productive beds, and a separate detached coach house/cottage ideal for guests, staff or holiday-let income (subject to use permissions). There is clear potential to add a heritage-style garage complex or an outdoor pool (subject to planning).
Practical points to note: heating is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators and the external walls are older solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation — the EPC is E (with stated potential to reach C). Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average; council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors mean buyers should budget for energy and connectivity improvements and possible insulation work to modernise running costs and comfort.
This is a rare opportunity for a family seeking roomy, private country living with strong scope for further improvement, flexible ancillary accommodation and exceptional outdoor amenity. Buyers who value space, seclusion and garden-focused lifestyle — and who are prepared to invest in energy upgrades and potential planning projects — will find the property particularly compelling.
