3 bed detached house for sale

St. Marys Close, Platt TN15

Coming to the market for the first time in nearly 40 years, this wonderful detached bungalow offers an exceptional opportunity to create a truly special home, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Tucked away at the very end of a peaceful, highly regarded cul-de-sac, the property occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.4 acres, backing directly onto 88 acres of woodland to create a remarkable sense of privacy and tranquillity.

The ground floor accommodation opens via a practical entrance porch into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall. The dual-aspect living room offers a bright, airy space that flows naturally into a dedicated dining area, while the adjacent kitchen enjoys peaceful views over the extensive rear gardens and provides direct access to a separate utility room. Two good-sized double bedrooms are also located on the ground floor, served by a central family shower room.

The first floor has been partially extended to create an impressive master suite. This expansive space features a large master bedroom enjoying lovely southerly views, a generous bathroom equipped with both a bath and a separate shower, and a large, dedicated storage room.

While the property is neat, tidy, and perfectly habitable, it would benefit from cosmetic updating throughout and offers massive scope for remodelling, extending, or further enhancement. The single car garage-which is incorporated into the structure of the house but accessed strictly from the outside-presents exciting architectural possibilities. In particular, it lends itself to fantastic potential for internal integration or the creation of a first-floor balcony or terrace accessed directly from the master suite to fully capitalise on the stunning woodland backdrop.

Outside, the mature gardens are a defining feature of the home, incorporating sweeping lawns, an array of established trees and shrubs, a private wooded area, a stacked fish pond, and a summerhouse tucked away among the trees. To the front, a large driveway provides comfortable off-road parking for multiple vehicles and gives access to the garage. This is a truly unique home in an incredibly sought-after village setting, offering space, privacy, and outstanding potential with the added benefit of no onward chain.
