There are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, a contemporary family bathroom, and stairs leading to a top room currently used for storage, which offers clear potential to be converted into a fourth bedroom or home office.

Externally, Willow House enjoys a large, private rear garden with a swimming pool to the side and further scope for a pool house, studio or additional outbuilding, subject to the necessary consents. A natural buffer of trees lines the boundary, creating privacy and a peaceful outlook towards the neighbouring village greenery and football pitch.

The second property, Willow Cottage, provides exceptional additional accommodation and versatility. This spacious four-bedroom home opens into a large entrance hall which leads through to a bright living room overlooking the driveway. To the rear is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, filled with natural light from multiple windows and double doors opening onto its own private and sizeable rear garden.

The ground floor offers two bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate shower room, a utility space and built-in storage cupboards. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, one currently utilised as a walk-in wardrobe, along with a separate WC.

Both properties benefit from extensive driveway parking, a double car port, and a wide gravel driveway shared between the homes. The overall plot also includes a disused tennis court and additional land, currently used as overflow parking for larger gatherings and events. Notably, the ownership includes the private lane leading up to the properties, enhancing both privacy and long-term control of access.
This remarkable setting and level of flexibility makes the property ideal for multi-generational living, independent accommodation for older children, or as an income-generating opportunity through long-term letting or short-term holiday rental.
