The room has a stone-flagged floor, high central ceiling light point, attractive, period style range and units at both the high and low level which give a large amount of cupboard space.

LOBBY CELLAR The lobby has a window to the side and cellar steps leading down to the good-sized cellar, which has a stone-flagged floor, stone table and UPVC windows to the front elevation and stone shelving.

It should be noted that the lounge has an external door which is glazed at the upper portion, giving further natural light to the room. This door is currently blocked from the inside. This could be considered for conversion to a pure, glazed window due to the fact that access out to the rear gardens is courtesy of the conservatory/orangery. This room is beautifully positioned overlooking the extensive rear gardens, and having a fabulous, glazed roof. There are twin, glazed doors giving direct access out to the gardens and the amazing view beyond. Also on the ground floor level is the shower room/downstairs WC.

A doorway gives access to a staircase which leads up to the top floor attic room. (4.5m x 5.03m) This is currently used as storage and has a gable window. Enough space exists within bedroom two to create a corridor to give direct access off the first-floor landing if so desired. . (6.17m x 9.25m) Adjoining the cottage is the good-sized, two-storey barn. To the ground floor, there is an automatically operated, up-and-over door giving access directly from Towngate. This provides a large amount of parking and barn-style storage. There is a downstairs w.c. and a staircase leads up to a good-sized storeroom. The barn has planning consent to be converted to provide additional accommodation. The plans demonstrate the following accommodation. The property has achieved planning permission to extend out to the rear. To the cottage, consent has been given for a two-storey, gabled extension and to the barn, a single storey extension. The property has also been granted consent for the barn and the cottage to be joined together, as one. Permission has also been granted for the properties to be split into two individual homes. We enclose the plans and give a brief indication of what that accommodation/layout would look like. Please see the plans showing the external garden space which includes a driveway, giving access through the barn to a driveway/parking area within the rear garden area. If the barn and home were to be joined together, the building would have the following accommodation: Similar driveway through to a driveway at the rear with this coming under/through the barn also creating under cover carparking/garaging. There would be a large living room, enjoying the views, central hallway, fabulous living/dining kitchen, very large snug/gym/store, downstairs w.c./shower room and five bedrooms to the first- floor level: bedroom one, en-suited, bedroom five en-suited and two-house bathrooms and attic room.

The barn would have the through-driveway/garaging as previously mentioned and would include a fabulous living room overlooking the gardens, central hallway, downstairs w.c./shower room, utility room/store and impressive dining kitchen. There is also an additional store space to the first floor, there is a good-sized landing, three bedrooms, bedroom one, a very large room with impressive adjoining en suite, bedroom two, a good-sized double room, bedroom three, shown on the plan as a study and house bathroom. All properties would have pleasant gardens and would have a division. The lower paddock is in front of the barn. This huge paddock provides a tremendous amount of family space, whether that be for pets, children and indeed a pony, there is a lot of space available, all enjoying the views and complimenting the barn extremely well. To the roadside, the property has a small, stone-flagged reception area and attractive gates giving access to a side driveway.
