An exciting opportunity to purchase a charming property with planning permission for a substantial bespoke home, occupying approximately 5.97 acres of gardens, woodland and grounds.
Situated in the sought-after village of Marford, enjoying complete privacy and a beautiful rural outlook, Horsley Lodge is an attractive three-bedroom detached property set within approximately 5.97 acres of gardens, paddocks and ancient woodland.
Offering considerable appeal as a family home in its current form, the property also presents an exciting opportunity to create a substantial bespoke residence, with planning permission already granted for an extensive program of alterations and extensions, including the addition of a lower ground floor with garaging. The architectural renderings showcase the proposed restoration and transformation, designed by the renowned architect Will Flint.
Believed to date from around 1910, the lodge sits within mature and well-established grounds and is approached via a private driveway, providing ample parking alongside a garage and barn. The combination of open paddock land and woodland creates a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining within easy reach of village amenities.
Internally, the existing accommodation extends to approximately 2,065 sq ft. The property comprises a living room with a bay window, a sitting room, also featuring a bay window, a dining room, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom with WC. There are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the ground floor, while a further bedroom is located on the first floor. The house enjoys delightful views across its grounds and neighboring countryside and offers a charming blend of character and potential.
The land is a particular feature of the property, extending to just under six acres and incorporating two paddocks together with an area of ancient woodland, making it ideal for those seeking a rural lifestyle and has the potential for equestrian use.
