A unique opportunity to acquire a detached house with extensive grounds on a highly regarded private lane.

Description

Sparsholt is a detached property believed to date from the 1930s, positioned on a private road off Tower House Lane and set within approximately 1.51 acres of gardens and woodland. The plot is divided across two distinctive areas, offering both formal gardens and more natural wooded surroundings, together providing a varied and appealing outdoor setting with scope for further landscaping or enhancement.

The property has lapsed planning permission (22/P/1859/FUL), presenting an opportunity for redevelopment or extension, subject to the relevant consents.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes an entrance porch leading into a central reception hall with access to the principal ground floor rooms. The sitting room is a generous, dual aspect space with views over the gardens, complemented by a separate dining room with feature fireplace and connecting doors. A further reception room provides additional flexible living space. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units and opens into a separate utility room, with access to the rear of the property and cloakroom facilities.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in dressing area and an en suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms all with southerly views to woodland and the valley beyond. There is a fourth bedroom (currently arranged a as a walk in wardrobe) alongside a family shower room and separate WC.

Externally, the property is approached via a private road serving a small number of homes, with driveway parking and two separate garage blocks positioned within the grounds. The combination of established gardens, woodland areas and the overall plot size provides a degree of privacy and potential rarely available in this location.
