4 bedroom house

Gaythorne is a superb 1930’s built detached three/four-bedroom family home set on a secluded plot of 0.63 acres with far reaching rural countryside views. Situated on the outskirts of the charming village of North Waltham, and within easy reach of the A30 and M3, the generous plot is surrounded by mature trees and hedgerows providing a haven for wildlife whilst offering a great degree of privacy. The house is entered via a spacious entrance hall positioned to the right-hand side of the property linking the main house to the double garage. The entrance hall leads through to the large kitchen/breakfast room, supplemented by the separate utility room with a guest cloakroom. From the kitchen access can be gained to the internal hallway which in turn provides access to the large study which could be utilised as a fourth bedroom, if desired, and the formal dual aspect dining room complete with an open fireplace. The sitting room offers a tranquil place to retreat to with double doors opening out to the rear garden. The first floor features a split-level landing, enabling access to three generous double bedrooms, with the principal benefitting from built-in storage. The family bathroom and separate W/C serves all rooms. Although presented in good order, the property offers plenty of scope to extend and modernise, subject to the correct planning consents being obtained. Externally, the house is approached by a private gate which opens onto a spacious driveway with ample parking for several vehicles. Tucked away to the side of the property there is also a versatile detached outbuilding with lots of potential to be converted into a workshop or home office amongst other things, subject to the relevant consents. The well-maintained garden is mainly laid to lawn encompassing the property on all elevations and featuring an abundance of trees, bushes and shrubs.
