About
Willow House offers a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious four bedroom detached family home, set within an exceptional plot of approximately 5 acres.
Benefiting from a desirable south-westerly aspect, the property enjoys both privacy and open views, while also offering outstanding development potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions (STPP).
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and generously proportioned entrance hall with a stylish tiled floor.
From here, you can access all ground floor accommodation, including a convenient under-stairs storage cupboard, utility room, and a guest WC.
Double glazed doors open into the impressive, modern kitchen/diner located at the rear of the property.
This beautifully designed space features sleek white gloss units, including a full-height bank of cabinetry housing three larder cupboards, an integrated microwave, and an electric oven.
A central island provides additional storage and workspace, while a further run of base units on the opposite wall includes a four-burner gas hob with extractor above and a stainless steel sink and drainer.
The kitchen opens into a rear extension, which currently serves as a dining area, enjoying panoramic views over the garden and finished with oak-effect laminate flooring.
Also accessed from the entrance hall is the principal sitting room, a welcoming, triple-aspect reception space.
It features a bay window to the front, a spacious lounge area to the rear, and bi-fold doors that open directly onto the garden, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
A staircase leads from the hallway to the first-floor landing, which connects the four bedrooms and family bathroom.
The main bedroom, located at the front of the house, features a bay window and an en suite shower room with a pedestal basin, WC, shower enclosure, chrome heated towel rail, and LED mirror.
Two generously sized double bedrooms are positioned at the rear, one with a built-in wardrobe while a fourth, single bedroom enjoys a side aspect.
The contemporary four-piece family shower room includes a wall-mounted basin, WC, shower enclosure with Mira controls, bidet, and chrome heated towel rail.
The true highlight of Willow House is its exceptional outdoor space.
Set within approximately five acres, the expansive grounds are mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging, offering a high degree of privacy.
To the rear, you'll find an open barn and a picturesque wildflower area planted with young saplings, adding natural charm and ecological value to the setting.
This remarkable property offers huge potential, not only to extend and remodel the existing home into a bespoke, luxury residence, but also to explore the development of an additional dwelling to the west aspect of the plot (subject to the necessary planning consent).
Whether you're seeking a peaceful family retreat or a property with development potential, Willow House presents a superb and rare opportunity.
