PROPERTY
The property provides an exciting and rare opportunity to purchase a substantial period house, formerly two cottages, now in need of complete renovation and refurbishment. It offers huge potential for redevelopment or extensions subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The house, which is set back from the road in an elevated position, if for sale for the first time in over 70 years and has not been occupied in over 10 years. Whilst now as one dwelling it is easy to see where it was two and it could be reverted subject to planning and the second staircase even remains in situ.

The current configuration is with the main entrance being accessed off an entrance porch, leading to a hallway. This is a single storey addition which is clay lump and includes a bathroom and the kitchen. There are three principal reception rooms, each with fireplaces, a former kitchen a scullery and a pantry. The main stairs rise from one of the reception rooms to the first floor landing. There are currently 5 bedrooms, two of which interconnect, and a shower room.

The house is set back from the road and accessed via metal gates. It is in an elevated position with an area of lawn to the front. Beyond the house is a further area of garden, now overgrown and an orchard. The gardens back on to open fields and enjoy a rural aspect.
