A pretty gravelled sitting area leads into the main garden which laid to lawn, with an established ornamental pond, mature trees and shrubbery. Timber framed potting shed to remain, aluminium framed greenhouse to be removed. The garden is an absolute delight, full of specimen plants and hidden sitting areas which has created a haven for wildlife including ducks and woodpeckers.

Planning permission has been granted, application no. which would allow for a substantial, but sympathetic extension to the side of the property, providing to the ground floor; a very large open-plan kitchen/ sitting/ dining space with fabulous panoramic views to the North, and to the first floor; a principal bedroom suite which would include a large bedroom with balcony enjoying splendid views, en-suite bathroom or shower room and dressing room.
