Property description
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a very spacious detached bungalow, currently used as a smallholding, set on approximately 12.5 acres. The property has lots of further potential with a range of barns, ripe for conversion (subject to the necessary planning consents). There is a double garage and further parking with a range of outbuildings. The gardens that surround the property are well landscaped, mature and mainly laid to lawn with a variety of trees, shrubs and two ponds. The property could be used for those with horses as the barns could be converted into stables and the land is adaptable. Another feature of the property is that is has a self-contained one/two bedroom annex, thus making the property ideal for two family occupation. The main part of the property is offered for sale in good order with a conservatory, high quality fitted kitchen, spacious sitting room/dining room, family bathroom and two bedrooms. The first floor is partially converted to form a bedroom/loft studio room with a cloakroom; the remainder of the loft is unconverted but would provide similar accommodation if so required. The land that surrounds the homestead is well fenced and has some water laid on as well as some far reaching countryside views. It is rare that such an unusual property, with land, potential for further extension and with agricultural buildings that could be converted (subject to building regulations) becomes available for sale.
