Situated within the peaceful rural village of Nonington, this detached family home occupies a generous plot and presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a property offering both immediate occupation and significant future potential. Offered to the market chain-free, the property has undergone a programme of refurbishment in recent years, with the first floor having been comprehensively modernised, while parts of the ground floor remain unfinished, providing purchasers with the opportunity to complete and personalise the accommodation to their own tastes and requirements. Of particular interest is the site's previous planning consent for the construction of an additional dwelling within the grounds. Although the consent has now expired, the principle of development has previously been established and may offer future potential for reinstatement, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
The ground floor accommodation is accessed via an entrance hall which leads through to the principal living room, creating a comfortable reception space at the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and remains fully functional, although prospective purchasers may wish to modernise and reconfigure the space as part of future improvements. To the rear, an extension significantly increases the footprint of the property and provides a utility room, lobby or boot room, two separate WCs, a bathroom and an additional reception room offering considerable flexibility. This area of the house remains largely unfinished and requires refurbishment throughout, presenting an excellent opportunity for those seeking a project with the ability to add value and tailor the accommodation to individual needs.
The first floor has been extensively modernised and is presented to a good standard throughout. Arranged from a central landing are four generous bedrooms, including a principal bedroom benefitting from a contemporary en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned and are served by a modern three-piece family bathroom. Combined with double glazing throughout and gas-fired central heating, the upper floor is ready for immediate occupation and provides comfortable family accommodation while any future improvements to the ground floor are undertaken.
Externally, the property occupies a substantial plot with a large driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, together with the added benefit of a wall-mounted EV charging point. To the rear, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and established shrubs, creating a pleasant and private outdoor environment. Adjacent to the rear of the property is a detached brick-built outbuilding with its own enclosed yard area. This section of the site formed part of the previously approved scheme for an additional dwelling, with plans having proposed the subdivision of the gardens to create two separate residential plots. The planning permission has since lapsed; however, the opportunity may still hold considerable appeal for those seeking future development potential, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. At present, the outbuilding and enclosed yard are utilised for the storage of building materials and general goods.
