Bright and Spacious Accommodation
The property welcomes you through an inviting entrance hall, leading to a bright and spacious L-shaped lounge and dining room. This generously proportioned living area provides an excellent setting for everyday family life, relaxing and entertaining. A separate kitchen and breakfast room overlook the gardens and offer direct access to the outdoors, providing wonderful potential to create a contemporary kitchen and family living space. Four well proportioned bedrooms offer flexibility for growing families, guests or those requiring a dedicated home office, while a family bathroom completes the principal accommodation. The existing layout provides an excellent foundation for refurbishment, allowing purchasers to introduce their own style and modern comforts while retaining the character and generous proportions of the original home.
Integrated Garage and Separate Workshop: One of Glanleam?s most appealing features is the exceptional flexibility offered by its additional buildings.
The substantial integrated garage, measuring approximately 22 ft x 13 ft, offers excellent storage and exciting potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, a home office, playroom or hobby space, subject to any necessary planning permission and building regulations.
A separate outbuilding, previously used as a workshop, further enhances the property?s versatility. Whether used for hobbies, storage, creative pursuits or a dedicated workspace, this valuable addition offers possibilities rarely found in conventional residential properties.
Beautiful Mature Gardens on Almost Half an Acre: The outdoor space is undoubtedly one of Glanleam?s greatest assets. Occupying a generous site of approximately 1,800 sq.m., the property is surrounded by mature trees, established hedging and extensive lawns, creating a wonderful sense of privacy, tranquillity and space. The gardens provide an idyllic setting for family activities, outdoor entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. For those seeking to enhance the property further, the generous site may also offer opportunities for additional accommodation or extensions, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Properties combining this level of outdoor space, privacy and convenience are increasingly difficult to find in such an established and desirable location.
