OUTSIDE
This attractive late 19th century gothic influenced farmhouse, which is set within approximately 1.5 acres (to be verified), also has a separate detached Oast barn / building located behind the main farmhouse. In our opinion this could possibly be converted into a residential annex, or even into a separate dwelling. Furthermore, this building and the main house could also be replaced with perhaps planning to build two bespoke luxury homes, as they are not grade listed and the site has ample area to accommodate this type of redevelopment in our opinion.
There is also a large recently constructed detached storage/building/garage, being complimented by an extensive gravel driveway with generous parking areas beyond.

PLEASE NOTE AVAILABLE BY SEPARATE NEGOTIATION: CURRENTLY FOR GUIDE PRICE £195,000, APPROXIMATELY 7.5 ACRES (To be verified).
The grass paddocks available by separate negotiation are located a fair way back in a southerly direction and can currently be accessed by a grass track, which then expands and opens out to a large two-tier grass paddock area, which could also be landscaped for a fishing lake etc subject to planning. There is also scope to create a stable complex and menage subject to planning.
