The comfortable living room features a traditional fireplace surround with a wood-burning stove, creating an attractive focal point. Large windows flood the room with natural light while offering attractive views across the surrounding grounds.

Externally, Aronde enjoys generous and established grounds, incorporating extensive areas of lawn, mature trees, established planting and attractive garden areas.

A substantial detached outbuilding provides excellent storage and workshop space, while areas of hardstanding offer ample private parking for several vehicles. The combination of generous garden grounds, useful outbuildings and an attractive rural setting make Aronde particularly well suited to buyers seeking a country home offering space, privacy and versatility.

Of further interest, the current owners applied for, and were granted, planning permission for a single-storey extension to both the eastern and western elevations of the property. The proposed eastern extension would provide a new principal bedroom, en-suite and wardrobe, while the western extension would replace the existing conservatory and lean-to shed, creating additional accommodation and enhancing the home’s versatility. Full details of the planning application can be viewed under reference APP/2025/0488.

A hardcore driveway provides ample parking and turning space for several vehicles, extending from the front of the house to the outbuildings. Overall, the grounds provide a superb lifestyle opportunity, ideal for those seeking space to enjoy the outdoors.

A particular feature of Aronde is its range of outbuildings. Attached to the house is a integral single garage, vehicular access is provided via an up and over metal door. The garage benefits from power, light and water. The detached steel-framed workshop is easily accessible from the house and offers a wealth of potential for a variety of uses. Measuring approximately 60ft x 30ft, the building is clad with profile metal sheeting to the walls and roof and benefits from a large roller vehicle access door together with a separate pedestrian door. Whilst electrical fittings remain in place, the seller has advised that the power supply is currently disconnected. Attached to the main house is a lean-to wood store of timber construction. There was previously a second outbuilding located to the rear of the workshop, however, only the foundations now remain.
