Description

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a home that has been well looked after by the same family since its construction in the 1950s. Making its debut on the open market for the very first time, this property offers both immediate comfort and exceptional future potential, perfect for buyers seeking a home they can truly make their own.
While entirely habitable as it stands, the property would now benefit from a programme of modernisation throughout. For those with vision, this presents a fantastic chance to enhance, personalise, and add significant value, transforming the house into a bespoke home tailored to individual tastes and lifestyle.
For the more ambitious buyer, the possibilities extend even further. There is considerable scope to extend, whether upwards, to the side, or to the rear. This would allow for the creation of additional living space and further elevating what is already a superb home in a highly desirable village setting (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

The accommodation is both spacious and versatile. Upon entering, a welcoming reception hall, which features an original suspended open-tread staircase to the first floor landing. On the ground floor there is a dining room leading through to the kitchen, while a particularly impressive 23ft dual-aspect living room has plenty of natural light, creating a bright and inviting space for relaxation and entertaining. The ground floor also benefits from a bedroom and wet room, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. To the first floor, two well-proportioned double bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping quarters, with further potential to reconfigure or expand if desired.
Externally, the property continues to impress. A driveway provides off-road parking for up to three vehicles, with additional space available should further parking be required. The gardens are a true highlight, they are generous, established and lovingly maintained to both the front and rear. The rear garden, in particular, enjoys a high degree of privacy, offering a peaceful and secluded outdoor retreat.

The village boasts a highly regarded local pub, well known for its welcoming atmosphere and quality food, perfect for relaxed dining close to home. Mathern itself is a charming and historic parish
