no chain - A really gorgeous location - Set in beautiful grounds including gardens and woodland with views across open countryside and a lake. Up to 10 Acres of land available. A rare, totally quiet and peaceful setting for a 5 bed house with additional detached Holiday Cottage. Alternatively, planning permission has been granted to extend and incorporate into one dwelling (4,489 sq ft). Houses like this, in Rushlake Green rarely become available. The property offers an immersive living experience, where your day-to-day life is surrounded by beauty and tranquillity, with nature on all sides. Deer, badgers, songbirds, herons, owls, and a host of other animals share the Bluebell woodland with you, consisting of Oak, Ash, Elder, Hazel, Scots Pine, Tulip, Japanese Maple, Chestnut, Fir, and Birch.

The main house is nestled in 8 acres of ancient woodland, and 2 acres of garden (option to either increase or decrease plot size - speak to agent) with a Koi Carp lake, offering complete versatility for living. With a 4/5-bedroom house, a separate 1 bedroom annex, workshop, pole barn, and outbuildings, it's suitable for everyone; young, old, couples, families, and multi-generational living.
Option to purchase as is - enlarge to 4,489 sq ft (pp approved) or pp submitted for total rebuild.

A winding driveway leads you from a quiet country lane to the original house which sits in gardens which are open and sunny, with views across the countryside. It has been tastefully updated with a new, modern, stylish kitchen and bathroom, and wooden floors have been laid throughout the ground floor. There are two good sized reception rooms with open fireplaces and wood burning stoves, and a sunny conservatory to enjoy the scenery from.
The ground floor contains the master bedroom, with a further 4 bedrooms (1 en-suite) on the first floor, with others being utilized as an office and a dressing room.
The annex has existing planning permission to be used as a holiday cottage, although the current owners have used it exclusively as family guest accommodation. It has been fully renovated, and has its own kitchen, expansive dining area with lounge, a large bedroom, and full suite bathroom.
Outside a hot tub resides under a Pergola, a viewing platform provides space for a hanging chair, and the lake has a jetty.
The property has planning permission granted (wd/2021/1337/F) to be remodeled, extending the dwelling to 4,489 sqft, and increasing the footprint significantly. This includes the addition of a large 3 car garage and office above.
The current owners have recently submitted updated planning permission for a new build property (plans available), creating a modern purpose-built house in the heart of this beautiful space.
This presents buyers with a choice of improving, extending, or rebuilding which is extremely rare for this area, leaving many options for creating the perfect dream home in the countryside.
Council Tax Band F, Separate oil fired central heating for each property, with cess pit drainage, fibre optic broadband.
