OUTSIDE
The property occupies a generous plot of 0.31 acre, with gardens on each side. At the front, a driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles, plus space to turn, and leads to a detached garage with double doors (and an additional door to the garden). There is a section of lawn to the front of the house, as well as established shrub borders. One of the main selling points of this fabulous village home is undoubtedly the rear garden. Enclosed to all sides by fencing, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and planting. Well-tended and beautifully presented, the garden also includes a section of vegetable plots, various delightful seating areas and shed storage. The garden would be ideal for a family and indeed green-fingered purchasers, with further scope for landscaping if desired.
PLANNING PERMISSION
The property has the advantage of full planning permission, reference 2023/0208/HSE for a rear extension and for the erection of a double garage. The permission would transform the accommodation, creating a substantial kitchen/dining/family room, master ensuite and a reconfiguration of the existing living space.
