Description of Property
Cherry Nook
Set well back from Forge Lane behind mature boundaries and approached via an extensive carriage driveway, Cherry Nook enjoys an enviable degree of privacy within one of Little Aston's most sought-after settings.
The house has been lovingly maintained over many years and offers generous family accommodation including its extensive range of outbuildings and workshops.
Internally, the accommodation has been designed for practical family living, centred around welcoming reception rooms overlooking the gardens together with a spacious kitchen, study and utility accommodation. The first floor provides four bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom, family bathroom and useful loft room.
Whilst beautifully cared for throughout, purchasers may also wish to update and personalise the accommodation to create a truly exceptional long-term family home.
Workshops, Garaging & Ancillary Buildings
An extensive range of workshops, detached garages, stores and traditional outbuildings provide exceptional flexibility for a wide variety of uses including secure vehicle storage, workshops, studios, home business accommodation, equestrian facilities or hobby space, subject where necessary to the appropriate permissions. Such a comprehensive collection of buildings is increasingly difficult to find within a residential setting and significantly enhances the versatility at Cherry Nook
Established Commercial Investment
The estate benefits from two separate commercial buildings known as The Forge and Forge Garage.
Both are occupied by established tenants, providing an immediate income stream whilst offering purchasers the flexibility to continue the investment, review future leasing arrangements or explore longer-term redevelopment opportunities, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
The commercial element provides an attractive diversification rarely associated with a private residence and will appeal equally to owner occupiers, investors and developers.
Grounds
The gardens and grounds are every bit as impressive as the buildings themselves.
Beautifully established over many years, the formal gardens flow effortlessly into expansive lawns, mature trees, ornamental planting and open meadowland, creating an outstanding parkland setting extending to almost two acres.
An attractive ornamental pond provides a tranquil focal point within the grounds, whilst mature woodland boundaries and established hedgerows create exceptional privacy.
Development Potential
One of the estate's most compelling attributes is its future potential.
Professional planning advice has identified opportunities to explore sensitive residential development across parts of the holding, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
The existing commercial buildings occupy previously developed land and may present future opportunities for redevelopment or conversion, whilst the wider estate occupies a highly desirable location where evolving national planning policy relating to Green/Grey Belt, previously developed land and limited infill may create further opportunities over time.
The property therefore represents not only an exceptional lifestyle purchase but also an exciting strategic acquisition capable of adapting to future requirements.
Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves through their own planning investigations.
