About this property

Originally dating back 100 years, Fineoaks occupies a delightful position in a highly sought-after rural setting, enjoying an impressive plot of approximately 2 acres, offering exceptional potential for those seeking a country lifestyle with scope to further enhance, adapt or build to their own requirements.

This detached four-bedroom bungalow provides versatile accommodation throughout. A generous triple-aspect living room extension boasts a substantial wood-burning stove which also contributes to the property's hot water supply and enjoys direct access onto the patio sun terrace and gardens beyond. Additional accommodation includes a separate dining room, family bathroom and compact scullery-style kitchen. From bedroom two, a timber staircase rises to a useful loft area, ideal as a hobby room, home office, teenage retreat/gaming space.

Approached via a gravel driveway, the property benefits from a detached double garage together with parking for several vehicles. The property’s true appeal lies within its extensive grounds.

The predominantly level plot presents a wonderful opportunity for keen gardeners, smallholders or those wishing to create a productive lifestyle setting, with established allotment beds, greenhouses and a variety of useful outbuildings already in place. An additional five-bar gated access point provides convenient entry to the southern end of the plot from Hammer Lane. Beyond the formal gardens, a gated path leads to an enchanting area of established coppice woodland, with a variety of mature tree species and gently tapering towards the property's rear boundary, where the Vines Cross Stream forms a natural backdrop.

Offering considerable scope for modernisation, enlargement or potential redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents, Fine Oaks represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of great promise, in an enviable countryside location.
