Oakleaves is a delightful detached bungalow in an enviable position within the village of Lodsworth. The village is within the South Downs National Park and has a lovely country store and local village pub, "The Hollist". The property has had planning permission granted for substantial extension.
The entrance to the grounds is via a double five bar gate that leads onto a pebbled driveway, currently there is a carport and pretty front garden. The property is entered to the side of the bungalow via a porch with a double glazed door. There is a wide entrance hallway that leads throughout the home. The hallway benefits from two deep storage cupboards and access into the loft, the loft is currently partly boarded, insulated and has a loft ladder.
To the front of the property is a generous double bedroom and the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has tiled flooring throughout, a "U" shape kitchen unit layout with integrated oven and hob and stand alone appliances. There is also access into a versatile lean to room that has been added to the original structure, this room currently houses the boiler and is used as a garden room, it has access to both the front and the rear gardens so could be an excellent route into the house for pets after long country walks beginning with the ancient woodlands adjacent to the property.
There are two further double bedrooms with the principal bedroom providing views over the extensive rear garden. Also occupying a prime spot in the bungalow is the reception room with broad and pleasant views towards the South Downs and the room has an open fireplace, making a cosy living environment. The bedrooms are serviced by a neutral three piece bathroom suite, which also has a heated towel rack.
The rear garden has a great deal of potential as there is a lot of space to landscape. There is a raised lawn area off the rear of the house with steps down to a vast garden with mature borders, this is a private and secluded space with desirable views.
A real benefit to Oakleaves is that the property has been granted plans to extend. The extension approval includes but is not limited by extending into the loft space to create three further bedrooms and two bathrooms, opening up of the ground floor to create a larger living area with bifold doors onto the gardens. There is also approval for the erection of a double garage with pitched roof on the front driveway. Plans can be reviewed on South Downs planning website under reference SDNP/21/05908/HOUS and APP/Y9507/W/22/3292952 via the Planning Inspectorate Portal. This permission has been initiated and preserved.
A further benefit to the this outstanding opportunity is there will be no onward chain.
Oakleaves occupies an elevated position on the corner of School Lane and Hollihurst Road, the South Downs woodlands are directly opposite the entrance of the driveway. The village of Lodsworth is set in the rolling West Sussex countryside within the South Downs National Park and has the luxury of a village pub, The Hollist, and the Lodsworth Larder, the award-winning village shop which is run and staffed by the village community.
