Property description
DESCRIPTION A rare opportunity to purchase a unique Grade II Listed Georgian residence is set in its own secluded plot with further extensions into the attached cottages, formerly the old converted stables (not listed), creating a versatile and beautiful sized property. Little Powisland at one time formed part of the Powisland Estate owned by the Jackman family and was built for occupation by the son of the owner upon the event of his marriage. The current accommodation was subsequently extended by the incorporation of the former old stables. The east wing boasts a variety of period features including high coved ceilings and attractive fireplaces. The living accommodation in its entirety comprises: entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, family room, kitchen/breakfast room and bathroom on the ground floor and on the first floor there are six double bedrooms, a large landing which could provide useful office space and a family bathroom. The property also offers potential for further development with the addition of a self contained annexe subject to planning permission. This would be ideal for multi occupancy or possibly a B&B in one section providing income potential.
