Outbuildings - The outbuildings at Herons Reach form an impressive collection that significantly enhances the versatility of the property. At the heart of these is a substantial coach house, which provides extensive garaging, storage, and stabling on the ground floor, with a first-floor level comprising five rooms that present excellent potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation, Airbnb-style rentals, or the base for a home-run business. In addition, there is a double garage, a further garage and workshop, a range of stables, and a large barn, together creating a superb arrangement for equestrian use, storage, or future development opportunities (STPP).

Agents Note (George): - In my opinion, Herons Reach is a particularly versatile property that will appeal to a wide variety of buyers. The combination of a substantial family home, circa 10 acres of land, and a superb range of outbuildings makes this a rare opportunity in the local market.

The setting and landholding lend themselves perfectly to equestrian buyers, with ample scope for stabling, grazing, and the use of existing outbuildings for equestrian purposes. Equally, the acreage and facilities would suit a hobby farmer seeking space for livestock or small-scale agricultural ventures.

For those focused on family living, the property already offers generous four-bedroom accommodation, but importantly the layout of the coach house and other outbuildings provides scope for further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions. This could allow for the creation of ancillary accommodation, home-working facilities, or income-producing opportunities such as holiday lets.

Overall, I believe Herons Reach represents not just a beautiful residence, but also a flexible lifestyle opportunity, adaptable to the varied needs of discerning buyers.
