Description

The Dimples
A substantial character property with exceptional potential, set within approximately 1.2 acres of grounds on the site of Dimples Hall. The Dimples is a distinctive and generously proportioned character property, offering a rare opportunity to restore and transform a truly individual home. Arranged over three floors, the property provides an impressive six bedrooms and five reception rooms, with all five reception rooms located on the ground floor, creating an abundance of flexible living and entertaining space.

From the moment you enter, the character of The Dimples is immediately apparent. The main hallway is particularly striking, featuring a large stained-glass window and an impressive staircase, creating a wonderful focal point and a sense of grandeur that runs throughout the house.

The accommodation offers considerable scope for modernisation and refurbishment, while retaining the architectural features and proportions that give the property its unique appeal. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, with the remaining bedrooms provide ample space for family, guests or potential home-working arrangements. A tower room adds another fascinating and versatile element to the property, with the potential to create a memorable study, retreat or additional living space.

Outside, the property continues to offer exceptional potential. The grounds extend to approximately 1.2 acres, providing a substantial private setting with plenty of scope for landscaping, gardens and outdoor entertaining.

The property also benefits from a double garage with a room above, offering excellent additional accommodation or ancillary space. The upper room has provision for a kitchen and already benefits from a bathroom, making it particularly versatile and potentially suitable as a guest suite, home office, studio or independent ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

The Dimples is undoubtedly a project, but one with considerable rewards for the right buyer. Properties offering this combination of scale, character, outbuildings, extensive grounds and original architectural features are rarely available. With imagination and investment, this could be transformed into an exceptional and highly individual country home.
