Of further interest, the current owners applied for, and were granted, planning permission for a single-storey extension to both the eastern and western elevations of the property.

Measuring approximately 60ft x 30ft, the building is clad with profile metal sheeting to the walls and roof and benefits from a large roller vehicle access door together with a separate pedestrian door. Whilst electrical fittings remain in place, the seller has advised that the power supply is currently disconnected. Attached to the main house is a lean-to wood store of timber construction.
