Property Description
The Spinney is an imposing 19th Century period home offering towards 7,000 ft of accommodation set within grounds approaching five acres. Originally a one up, one down thatched cottage, the home has been extended and added to extensively by its current custodians, who have fastidiously cared for the home for the last 30 years. The Spinney offers amongst one of the most secluded positions within this prestigious road and fuses formal grounds and mature woodland seamlessly.
The Spinney has a degree of versatility that most homes would struggle to rival. Whether extended family, home/income, or mixed use, The Spinney has it covered and we have a selection of ideas that would be able to be implemented.
The main residence sits within close proximity to the barn that currently hosts three of the annexes and games room. Originally a leisure suite and still with a swimming pool void, the barn could be easily attached to the original cottage and the space re-purposed to create a single dwelling offering in-excess of 6,000 sq ft of accommodation.
Each of the four cottages have the scope to be independently let, either on long term tenancy or as short term holiday lets and dependent upon your chosen path, we feel that the accommodation could yield as much as £8,000 per month.
The detached workshop and garaging are perfect for commercial enterprise, whether private or public facing, as they have independent access from the private lane. Furthermore the workshop can be extended (STPP) and the detached annex is conveniently positioned as office space should it be required.
Gardens and Grounds
The five acres of grounds have been adapted over the years with owners using the land for livestock and beekeeping among other things.
The house can be found at the end of a private drive and is set within picturesque gardens and grounds. At the rear of the property there is a stone terrace with a wisteria covered walk way and a pergola, from here you can walk down a path to the raised barbecue area. Lawns guide to the secluded and peaceful arboretum stocked with many specimen trees and rhododendron.
This space is ideal for children, as the current owner has hand carved a selection of forest animals and hidden them in the woodland. Also within the grounds there is a small well stocked lake with two islands and a flood lit tennis court.
