About this property

  • East Folly is a charming Grade II listed semi-detached period home set within delightful mature gardens and enjoying far-reaching countryside views.

    Offering approximately 1,865 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors, the property has been lovingly maintained and well presented by the previous owners. However, it also presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to refurbish, reconfigure or potentially extend (subject to the necessary consents) to create a truly exceptional period home that makes the most of its generous plot, beautiful gardens and stunning rural outlook.

    East Folly offers the perfect balance of character and potential, making it an ideal purchase for those seeking a classic country home with scope for enhancement.

    Formal access to the property is via a welcoming entrance hall featuring wooden parquet flooring and a wood-burning stove, creating an immediate sense of warmth and character. From here, you enter the elegant living room, centered around an impressive fireplace and filled with natural light from the striking Gothic-style mullioned windows.

    Double wooden doors lead through to the dining room, which could equally serve as a study or snug, offering flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles. Beyond is the charming breakfast room, complete with an abundance of wooden storage cupboards, which in turn leads to the kitchen. From the kitchen, delightful views can be enjoyed across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

    The ground floor also benefits from a guest cloakroom and a useful utility/shower room, conveniently positioned alongside the garden room/fourth bedroom, which enjoys direct access onto the patio and gardens beyond.

    The first-floor accommodation comprises three generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly characterful, featuring attractive round and oval windows. All three bedrooms benefit from good ceiling heights and fitted storage. Completing the accommodation is a spacious family bathroom, which is both light and bright.

    East Folly is surrounded by attractive gardens incorporating mature trees, established borders and expansive lawned areas. The property is approached via a long driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, in addition to a single garage.

    The gardens have been thoughtfully divided into a number of distinct areas, including a shared garden in front of the original elevation, a large open lawn, and an additional garden area to the side of the house. To the rear, two separate patio terraces provide wonderful spaces for outdoor entertaining whilst enjoying the far-reaching countryside views.

    The generous grounds offer significant potential for further enhancement, with ample space for a home office, studio, double garage or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

    ***The property is offered for sale subject to an overage agreement. Should planning permission be obtained for future development of the land, an overage payment may become payable. Details are available from the agent.
