Development Potential:
For those looking to create their dream home, the current owner has commissioned an architectural design that showcases the potential to transform the existing house into something truly special.
The design envisions a spacious five-bedroom, two-storey residence, retaining the original footprint while expanding the first floor to maximise the use of space.
The design also takes full advantage of the property's beautiful garden and stunning surrounding views.
This is an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking to create a home tailored to their needs, in a rare village location.
