Within the rear garden stands the original stable block, offering excellent scope and potential, while the generous garden itself measures approximately 132' x 50'.This landmark building is offered with no forward chain and enjoys a highly convenient location, just a short stroll from the Village Green and railway station, with easy access to highly regarded local infant and junior schools.An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the remarkable character, history and potential of this unique home – a wonderful slice of local heritage awaiting its next custodian.Agents note: The current owner previously obtained planning permission to convert the existing stable into a one-bedroom annexe, as well as to construct a two-storey rear extension to the main house. Permission for which has now expired.
