The first area measures 10’4 x 12’6 and could be utilised as the kitchen area, already complete with high quality kitchen units with stone work surfaces, currently accommodating a washing machine and separate dryer this could comfortably be converted into a fully functioning kitchen.

There is an adjoining W/C off of the kitchen.

Through the kitchen would be the huge living space which measures a further 17’5 x 16’3, this would provide the perfect environment in which to both entertain and relax were the outbuilding used for living accommodation. The old garage door runs alongside this room, this would need to be removed and replaced with a window/s.

Completing the outbuilding is the final room which measures a further 16’3 x 8’ and would make the perfect bedroom area which would complete the independent annexe.

Our floorplan currently illustrates the outbuilding set up as an annexe.

The outbuilding is currently used as an office and music room and therefore has been fully insulated and soundproofed.

This adds a huge amount of versatility to this home. If used as an annexe this would be perfectly suited to a larger family with either elder relatives, or older children striving for their own independence.

If not used as an annexe this could be utilised in many other ways: Given the large space on offer, this would also be perfectly suited for people running their business from home, to be used as a home gym/leisure area, a large children’s playroom, or even a private bar and party room. Given its size, the options are endless. It could also easily be returned to a garage for those with heritage vehicles.

Other Benefits - Each room in the house has CAT5e structured cabling for computer networking and the property enjoys a full fibre Internet connection offering speeds currently up to 1Gbit/s.

External Benefits - There are a whole host of external benefits to this home, starting with the 1/2 plot surrounding the home! The garden is impressive in each direction and remarkably unoverlooked with potential for seating and entertaining areas in each direction. The patio area is a great space for a table and chairs, and the current owners have crafted a ‘floating decking’ which makes clever use of the gradient of the garden. The driveway is gated and stretches long enough to park 10+ vehicles!

There is a log cabin summer house in the garden with electricity supply and network cabling back to the Annex.

There is so much of this home to be appreciated but only by visiting the property will you feel the full effect of all that’s on offer. Call us today to book a viewing!
