Provision has been made for a woodburner and a stainless steel flue pipe.

INSIDE
Proposed New Barn
3 large Bedrooms, with 2 of the bedrooms to have ensuites. One bedroom could be used as a study. The Master bedroom will have stunning southerly views over the properties 3 acres.
Living Areas
There is a proposed central dining area which leads off to the kitchen and utility area. Whilst from the central hall is the vast living area of over 500 sq ft hosting a fireplace and hearth. All of these are on the ground floor and give superb views over patio areas to the east and west, the most notable views will be over the East/South and the land that is owned by The Paddocks.
The only Upstairs room will be the main bedroom and its ensuite bathroom, which mimics the area of the living room, again with superb views; which overlooks the gardens, paddock area and the immediate countryside.
Extras
A large boot room and utility room, which are accessed via the kitchen or from outside.
Downstairs loo with wash basin.
The Hayloft
A wonderful addition, the hayloft can provide for accommodation whist the construction work is being undertaken and then in the future a potential rental income of roughly £500 per month. This property does however need some modernisation throughout, however the current owners have just installed all new PVCu windows, doors, fascia\‘s and guttering. All the services come from the main house. The Hayloft cannot be sold or separated from the main Title of the Paddocks.
The Hayloft has a living room and a kitchen on the ground floor, while upstairs contains a large bedroom and a bathroom.
OUTSIDE
The real gem of the Paddocks is its plot and all that comes with it. Although under maintained at present the fields could be transformed into a highly desirable paddock area and grazing land, as shown to the neighbouring land to the north of the property.
The stables consists of 6 bays and a tack room at one end. In front of this is a large concrete hard standing, ideal for storage of all equestrian vehicles and more. The Stables are in a very good condition.
APPROACH
The Paddocks are approached via well maintained track off Mill Common. This serves the farmhouse and then onto this property.
