4 bed detached house for sale

Ford Lane, Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey GU10

A substantial detached family home set within mature, secluded grounds, with a swimming pool and exceptional potential for modernisation and extension (STPP).

Description
Offered to the market with no onward chain, Drovers Holt presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable potential, occupying a private, southerly facing plot and offering scope for refurbishment, reconfiguration and extension, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Extending to approximately 2,469 sq ft, including the double garage, the well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises a generous sitting room with a sliding patio door opening onto the terrace, a separate dining room, a kitchen fitted with a Neff oven and Neff grill, adjoining utility room, study and cloakroom, together with a delightful conservatory enjoying double doors on either side opening directly onto the gardens.

A useful covered porch/log store links the utility area and garage, providing excellent everyday practicality. The integral double garage offers further potential and could, subject to the necessary consents, be incorporated into the main accommodation.

On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with both bathrooms benefiting from underfloor heating.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles and access to the double garage. Drovers Holt is set within established grounds that offer a high degree of privacy, with expansive lawns bordered by mature trees and planting. Of particular note is the outdoor swimming pool and associated pool house, which now require updating but present an exciting opportunity to create a superb leisure and entertaining facility.

While the property would benefit from a programme of refurbishment, it offers an exceptional opportunity for purchasers seeking to create a bespoke family home in a highly desirable setting.
