By Tim Lethaby

16th Jul 2021 | Property of the Week


Our property section is full of great homes in the Street area.

Here is our top pick for the week:

Five-bedroom detached house with an orchard in Housman Road, Street, offered for sale by Cooper and Tanner.

A substantial detached family home tucked away at the corner of this prestigious cul-de-sac on a particularly generous and secluded plot, offering versatile accommodation with obvious potential for a ground floor annexe and requiring a degree of modernisation with plenty of scope for improvement.

The main entrance is sheltered by a large canopy with an internal porch opening to the main reception hall.

From here stairs rise to the first floor and there is access off to the cloakroom, the potentially self-contained annexe and the main living accommodation. This includes a good-sized office with dual aspect windows and plenty of space for several desks.

A fantastic size dual aspect living room has attractive wooden flooring, access door out to the garden and a central fireplace creating an attractive focal point.

The accommodation continues around into a separate dining room which enjoys plenty of natural light through the floor to ceiling windows and sliding door to the rear garden. This provides a suitable space for family dinners or social gatherings.

The comprehensive kitchen and utility area provide a wide range of base and wall cupboards to ceiling height, stainless steel drainer sink with mixer tap, fitted pantry and a large airing cupboard. Space and plumbing is available for a range-style cooker with gas hob and cooker hood over, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer.

The utility area has a second drainer sink with mixer tap and windows look out to two elevations, taking in different aspects of the garden. A stable-style door at the rear opens into a large garden room, providing an excellent potential boot room, potting area or simply additional storage as required.

Doors open from here in opposite directions to a secluded enclosed courtyard garden, or separately to the main gardens at the rear.

The light and airy first floor landing provides access off to four bedrooms and a family bathroom with a modern white suite including double-width walk-in shower cubicle, flush WC, pedestal wash basin and bidet.

Three of the bedrooms are generously sized double rooms and all feature fitted wardrobes. The fourth bedroom would accommodate a single bed or could provide an additional office as required.

Completing the accommodation, the ground floor annexe comprises an inner hallway with sliding doors opening out to the private courtyard garden, a large storage cupboard with shelving and hanging space and a comprehensive bathroom including shower over bath. There are two further rooms which could provide either two double bedrooms, or a bedroom and separate living area.

Both currently feature fitted wardrobes. This provides versatile space for either dependant relatives, teenage children or to create a potential rental income.

The property is nestled back into its secluded plot at the end of the cul-de-sac, in total just over a third of an acre, with a driveway sweeping in past mature hedgerow which currently screens the house from the road. The driveway provides off-road parking comfortably for three to four vehicles and direct access to the double garage via an up and over door.

Tucked away at the side of the garage is a timber shed providing useful storage space. There is a pedestrian side door to the garage from the sheltered front entrance and a separate doorway opens to a path continuing around the remainder of the property.

This pathway links up the secluded central courtyard with the rest of the generous plot which wraps around the front, side and rear of the property. Large mainly level lawns provide wonderfully private child and pet friendly space, bordered by mature trees and hedgerow.

Beyond the main gardens is an enclosed orchard, currently featuring a large fruit cage and a variety of fruit trees. This sizable area also enjoys a private aspect behind high level hedgerow and mature trees.
