Great Elm, BA11

DESCRIPTION

Set back from the road within approximately 1/2 an acre of grounds, Windy Ridge is a single storey home built in the mid-90s and now requires modernisation throughout, with obvious development potential to create a substantial family home, subject to gaining relevant planning permissions.

The accommodation includes a very spacious entrance hall which makes for a great first impression and represents a potential space for stairs if someone were to want to convert the roof space.

The main reception room is a fabulous dual aspect light and airy room with three windows looking across the beautiful gardens and countryside beyond. There is a second dual aspect reception room which houses the open fire. There is a modest size kitchen, a separate utility room, two bedrooms and two shower rooms (formerly a 3 bedroom with one shower room).

OUTSIDE

A gated driveway opens into the walled plot with ample parking for multiple vehicles in addition to the spacious garage. The gardens lie predominantly to the front and the side and are made up of a large level lawn decorated with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees. There is productive fruit growing areas and a greenhouse. The former barn is a very large space with ample room for multiple vehicles in addition to workshop space. The barn is fitted with power and light.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Oil fired central heating. Mains water and electricity. Private drainage.
