The gardens have been attractively landscaped, and to the rear enjoy far reaching views across open fields. There is ample space to park on the drive and within a triple car port (10.5m x 6.2m (34’5” x 20’4”)), which links to the house. Adajacent to the car port is a a former blacksmith’s forge, constructed of brick beneath a clay pantile roof, this has been converted internally to provide a superb home office space. In our opinion this has interesting for a range of alternative uses, such as a self-contained annexe or guest suite, holiday cottage or perhaps even a separate property – subject to all usual consents.
