Property

This one of a kind Semi Detached Home comes with the added benefit of enormous potential to extend, improve and develop (stpp). Historically, planning permission has been granted for a double storey side extension, and a single storey rear extension, which would create an impressive Family Home (stpp). There is also potential to convert the Loft Room into a formal Bedroom (stpp), while the Garage has planning granted, to be replaced with a Detached, Two Bedroom Annex.

The Cottage itself has undergone a recent programme of improvement, making it an inviting home to move into. The Living Room, with high ceilings, centres around a fireplace, creating a cosy room to relax in, at the end of a long day. The Dining Room is perfect for entertaining, as it is open plan to the 10'5 x 7'11 refitted Kitchen, which has a range of stylish floor and wall mounted units with a host of integrated appliances. Completing the Ground Floor accommodation is the WC/Utility Room. To the First Floor is a luxurious Family Bathroom with a separate shower cubicle & bath, and two generous Double Bedrooms. Completing the layout is the Loft Room, which is accessed via a staircase in Bedroom 2. This offers the next owner with the exciting potential (stpp) to convert into a further Bedroom.

Outside

The property is set back from the road, in an elevated position, behind a gated entrance and sits on an impressive 0.4 acre plot. The gate opens to a large driveway, which provides plenty of off street parking and leads to the 21'0 x 18'3 Detached Double Garage. This has planning permission to be replaced with a Two Bedroom Detached Annex, making it ideal for multi generational living. The Rear Garden is a great size, and is mainly laid to lawn, with attractive borders, making it the ideal space for either children to play, or for a keen gardener to enjoy. There is also a 24ft Cabin, which is currently used as a Hobby Room, but could be used as occasional guest accommodation, or converted to create the ideal space for anyone working from home. A driveway leads to the end of the plot, where you will find a gated, secure Yard, which measures 65ft x 49ft. Within this is a 40ft Workshop, which has power and lighting and a number of covered storage areas, which could make this space perfect for a number of trades/professions, including builders, gardeners or tree surgeons.
