Description
Windward House presents a unique and exciting opportunity for transformation.
Situated in the desirable village of Hook Norton, on the edge of the Cotswolds, the property has been in the same family for over 60 years and is in need of comprehensive modernisation and improvement, whilst offering considerable potential.
Extended over the years, the main house now comprises over 4500 sq.ft. of versatile and spacious accommodation throughout, offering scope for substantial alteration and remodelling.
Internally the property includes entrance porch, entrance hall, living room, dining room, study, playroom, kitchen/breakfast room, rear lobby, WC, cellar, five/six bedrooms, three bath/ shower rooms, separate WC and conservatory. Part of the first floor accommodation has been used as separate one bedroom flat with external stairs for access.
The property also benefits from extensive garaging and workshops, generous private garden and off road parking for numerous cars. There is a vast amount of potential for multigenerational living, a separate income stream, and even realignment of the current boundaries.
Also available are two neighbouring cottages. Both of these properties are in need of comprehensive improvement and modernisation, but offer further scope and potential. 3, Edgecote Cottage comprises a mid-terraced two bedroom cottage with a courtyard area and off road parking space. 4, Edgecote Cottages comprises a shared utility area, stores, potential garage with a one bedroom flat over and courtyard area.
With all of the properties adjoining with access and shared use potential, both opportunities would suit developers, builders, investors, and families looking to stamp their own mark on such a property.
