The Green, Wickham Skeith

PROPERTY
Occupying a plot of approximately 0.7 acres, the property provides three/four-bedroom accommodation, with the added benefit of a flexible ground-floor layout offering excellent potential for those looking to accommodate extended family or create a more independent living arrangement. With wrap-around gardens, a mini orchard, vegetable plots and ample off-road parking, the property has much to offer those who appreciate space, practicality and the opportunity to make a home their own.
The ground floor offers a well-balanced arrangement of living and reception space, centred around a kitchen/diner, providing a natural hub for everyday life. A separate sitting room offers a comfortable space in which to relax, while a further room provides the flexibility to serve as a fourth bedroom, home office or additional reception room, depending on individual requirements. Importantly, this room already benefits from plumbing in place for the installation of an en-suite, presenting an excellent opportunity to create a ground-floor bedroom suite.
Further enhancing the versatility of the ground floor are the utility room and adjoining art studio, the latter having been converted from the property's original garage. Together, these spaces offer considerable scope for alternative use, with the potential to reconfigure the layout to create an annexe-style arrangement for multi-generational living, subject to any necessary consents. Whether accommodating a relative, providing a degree of independence for a family member or simply creating additional dedicated space for hobbies and home working, the flexibility here is a particularly appealing feature.
To the first floor, the property provides three bedrooms, including two generous double rooms with built-in wardrobes, alongside a further single bedroom. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
The grounds are a particular feature of the property, extending to approximately 0.7 acres and wrapping around the house to create a generous setting with plenty of space to enjoy. The gardens incorporate a mini orchard and vegetable plots, offering an appealing opportunity for those who enjoy growing their own produce. A detached studio/workshop provides valuable additional space for hobbies, storage, creative pursuits or practical projects. The property also has a driveway offering ample off-road parking.
Combining adaptable accommodation, generous grounds and a range of useful ancillary spaces, this is a home with considerable versatility and exciting potential. The opportunity to explore an annexe-style arrangement, together with the established gardens and outbuildings, makes this an appealing proposition for buyers seeking a property that can evolve alongside their needs.
