House For Sale £900,000
Detached modern house with generous south-west facing, offering huge scope for updating and renovating.
Description
Believed to date from the 1980s, Inneswood is a detached modern house which has been in the same family for over 23 years. Although the property does require updating, it sits within a generous plot and has a substantial footprint, and offers an ideal and exciting opportunity for its next owners to create a wonderful home.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall has double doors to the dual-aspect sitting room , which has a parquet floor, an open fireplace with an exposed brick chimney breast and sliding doors to the rear garden. Additionally, there is a dining room, a study, a kitchen breakfast room with an adjoining utility room and a cloakroom. On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite includes a 16 ft bedroom with fitted wardrobes, an adjoining dressing room and a bathroom; there are three further bedrooms which are served by a family bathroom.
The house is set slightly back from the road and screened from the road by tall hedging. Inneswood has right of way over the first portion of the drive, which is owned by the neighbour (see Agent’s Note), and has a drive leading through the front garden to the attached garage.
Gates at either side of the house open to the fully enclosed rear garden, which is largely level and faces south west. A patio adjoining the house offers space for table and chairs; the remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with established trees and shrubs planted. In all, about 0.41 of an acre.
