ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It should be noted that the property is detached but is virtually touching the neighbouring property.

Extra land shown in red on the plan is under a separate title but sold with the property. This land adjoins the property’s garden and the access lane to the rear.

This access lane which is shared with neighbouring properties could easily provide off-road parking if required. Neighbouring properties have made a similar alteration.

The property has gas-fired central heating and double glazing. Front Garden Outside, the property has a lovely, enclosed front garden area behind period stone walling including stone gate posts.

A pathway to the side gives access around to the rear garden area.

This good-sized garden area has attractive stone walling, and one can take full advantage of the rear elevation which has had, according to blocked up stonework, an opening through to an extension that at one time was attached to the rear of the property (now demolished).

There is ample space and scope, and particularly good height, for a substantial extension, either single or two storeys, to be added. Parking - Allocated parking Parking available
