Property Description
GUIDE PRICE £500,000-£550,000
This charming property four bedroom detached, located within the Detling Conservation Area, offers a unique opportunity with two distinct elements for sale. The first section, a beautifully tree-lined area, stretches from The Street to a brick demarcation line, featuring five sycamore and one yew tree, all protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). The second part, where the house is situated, extends from this brick line to the fence bordering Princes Way, providing ample outdoor space.
The land adjacent to The Street was acquired by the current owners to expand the properties boundary. While steps have been taken to merge both areas under one title, they remain on separate land registrations, which may or may not be consolidated by the time of sale.
The rear garden includes a shed and an arbour, both of which are part of the sale. The property’s boundaries are well-defined, with the owners responsible for maintaining the brick wall along The Street, the black picket fence by the shared driveway, and the rear fence facing Princes Way.
Access to the property is via a shared driveway, with no charge for usage, alongside The Old Vicarage and Ellesworth House. The current owners have contributed to its maintenance and regularly clear leaves, many of which come from the sycamore trees.
The house offers several modern conveniences while retaining its unique character. The front of the property features a key safe, garden tap, double external power sockets, and a functional doorbell system. The loft, which is floored and powered, is not suitable for conversion but remains a useful storage space. The model railway currently in the loft will be removed, but all essential fixtures will remain intact.
In the garage, you’ll find lighting, power sockets, and a manual door. The central heating boiler is located here and is maintained annually by British Gas. The property is equipped with a burglar alarm system, including movement sensors, and features gas central heating with the ability to control heating levels independently upstairs and downstairs.
The kitchen has been recently updated, with a double oven installed in 2022 and a new extractor hood in 2023. The utility room is fully equipped with plumbing and electrical setups, ready for washing machines and dryers, with drainage leading through the garage.
Overall, this home combines historic charm with modern features, offering a practical and well-maintained living space in a picturesque and sought-after location.
