Agents Note
As previously mentioned this property offers an excellent opportunity for those buyers looking to create their own family home by way of extension, enlargement and alteration subject to any necessary consents. Planning permission was passed in 2019 (however we understand that this has since lapsed) to demolish the existing dwelling and construct a replacement 6 bedroom dwelling of considerable size over 4 levels including a basement cinema / play room. Plans have also been drawn up to convert the loft space into further accommodation which would potentially create a 5 bedroom chalet style property. Obviously, the other option is to simply improve, redecorate and alter the existing accommodation.
