House For Sale £1,400,000
Unique Character Six Bedroom Home - One Bedroom Annex - Business Opportunity (STC) - Commercial Kitchen - Large Lounge And Pool Room - Good Sized Dining Room And Kitchen - Additional Reception Room - Two En Suites And Additional Family Bathroom - Cellar - Japanese Style Garden With Patio Area And Koi Pond - Private Parking
Durden and Hunt are thrilled to welcome to the market this exceptionally unique character property situated in a prominent position on the high street and could present a possible business opportunity (Subject To Consent). Although this is a residential property, the current owners feel it would make a wonderful boutique hotel/ B&B/ events venue or restaurant in the right hands (subject to necessary planning consents).
Instantly upon entering the property you will appreciate its uniqueness as both a wonderful family home or the possible business opportunities it may present.
The property dates back to the early 1700s and was formally The Old Bell public house with the spacious lounge, bar and Snooker room reminiscent of the building's former use and are contemporarily decorated in a high-end, opulent style; which is a theme throughout the property.
The property benefits from six bedrooms, all elegantly decorated, two of which have en-suites. one servicing the ground floor bedroom. A generous dining room and kitchen with the added benefit of an entirely separate commercial kitchen. There is a large cellar on the lower ground floor which has been tanked and loft space for additional storage and potential to convert (Subject to Planning). We understand from the current owners that the property has previously had planning permission granted to convert into apartments.
The first floor consists of an additional generous reception room with exposed character beams, which is served by dumbwaiter from the kitchen and bar area, five bedrooms and a modern family bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and separate shower.
Externally the property offers a beautifully landscaped private garden with large patio area, a private driveway and far-reaching views to the rear. At the bottom of the garden, you will find a two storey annex with an open plan kitchen, living and dining area, separate utility room, a shower room and a double bedroom. It further boasts a private Japanese garden with oriental koi pond and covered hot tub, providing a picturesque hidden sanctuary.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this unique hidden gem enviably located on Ongar high street.
