AGENTS NOTE
Agents note: to the right hand side of the entire plot is an area of approximately 1.1 acres which has previously been used by the current owners to keep horses. Currently with its own roadside fronted and secure gate, this area now has planning approval for a four bedroom detached bungalow - see planning notice ref: 25/00978/FUL. With this in mind, our sellers would consider the option of either selling as a whole at its current price of £1.475million or perhaps into parts with the main house and approximately 2 acres of garden at £1.25million and the plot of approximately 1.1 acres with planning at a figure of £450,000. Please ask agent for further details.

For this there is a non-refundable charge of £25.00 including VAT per person which will be invoice receipted for your records.
