STEP OUTSIDE Set within generous grounds of around 0.40 acres, this is an exceptional garden for a central village home. Largely private and not overlooked. The garden backs directly onto the village church, further enhancing the peaceful atmosphere.
To the side of the property sits a substantial garage and workshop, offering outstanding potential for conversion into a self contained annexe (STPP). Previous planning permission, granted in 2013 and now lapsed, supports the feasibility of residential use.
There is also extensive off road parking for multiple vehicles, enclosed behind a feature brick wall.
LOCATION Thorpe le Soken is a vibrant and friendly village offering an excellent range of day to day amenities including a Tesco Express, pharmacy, opticians, doctors' surgery, pubs, eateries, nursery, and both primary and secondary schools.
