***Guide Price £500,000- £525,000 *** Detached Family Home with Income-Producing Annexe + Detached Garden Office.
A rare opportunity offering multi-generational living, home-working flexibility, and proven £850+ pcm rental income Lux Homes are proud to present this exceptional and highly versatile three-bedroom detached home, ideally positioned on the ever-popular Rutley Close in Harold Wood.
This is not a standard three-bedroom property - it has been thoughtfully enhanced to offer additional income, lifestyle flexibility, and long-term investment appeal, making it stand out strongly in today's market.
A Property Defined by Flexibility & Financial Advantage One of the most significant features of this home is the self-contained annexe, which provides genuine independent living accommodation.
Currently achieving £850+ per calendar month, this equates to approximately £10,200+ per year in additional income, creating a meaningful contribution towards monthly mortgage affordability and overall financial flexibility.
This space is ideal for: Long-term rental income Multi-generational living for family members Guest accommodation with full independence Importantly, this is a fully functional, self-contained unit with its own kitchen and bathroom facilities, meaning it is not an afterthought or conversion space, but a genuine second living arrangement that significantly increases the versatility and value of the property.
From an affordability perspective, this level of income can make a material difference to buyers, effectively acting as an additional monthly income stream that broadens mortgage accessibility and buyer demand.
Main Residence - Light, Space & Practical Family Living The main house has been arranged with modern family living in mind, offering a natural flow throughout and well-balanced accommodation.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a bright and inviting entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the property.
To the front sits a stylish and comfortable reception room, ideal for relaxing evenings, family downtime, or a separate formal lounge space.
To the rear, the home opens into a spacious kitchen and dining area, which forms the true heart of the property.
This space has been designed for both everyday family functionality and entertaining, offering ample room for dining, socialising, and day-to-day living.
The layout has been intentionally kept practical, with a clear separation between living and sleeping accommodation, ensuring the home works just as well for busy family life as it does for hosting guests.
First Floor Accommodation Upstairs continues the sense of space and practicality. The principal bedroom is a bright and well-proportioned retreat, offering a calm and comfortable environment.
There are two further bedrooms, both of excellent size and versatility - suitable for children's rooms, guest accommodation, or even a home office setup if required.
A modern family bathroom completes the first floor, finished in a clean and contemporary style.
External Space - Garden, Office & Future Potential Externally, the property continues to deliver strong lifestyle appeal.
The rear garden is generously sized and provides a private, peaceful setting for outdoor enjoyment.
A charming pond feature adds character and creates a more tranquil atmosphere, making the garden equally suited for entertaining, relaxation, or family use.
A major additional benefit is the substantial detached garden office, which has been professionally set up with wired internet connectivity, ensuring fast and reliable broadband access.
This space is ideal for: Remote working Running a home business Creative studio or consultancy use However, it is equally flexible and could be adapted into a gym, hobby room, games room, or even a creative workshop depending on the buyer's needs.
This level of external versatility is increasingly in demand and adds a strong lifestyle dimension to the property.
