OUTSIDE
The property sits within a superb mature plot of approximately 2.07 acres (sts). To the front of the house there is a large in/out gravelled driveway providing extensive parking and leading to a 3 bay cart lodge which provides garaging and an enclosed garden store with storage above with electricity connected. The garden mainly consists of lawns, mature hedging and trees and 2 natural ponds and benefits from superb views of the surrounding countryside.
Within the garden there is a timber frame barn and adjoining lean-to which is constructed of dwarf brick walls, weather boarded and corrugated steel sheet roof. In total the barn extends to approximately 1,377 square feet and previously had a change of use to a single residential dwelling under Class Q of the Town & Country Planning Order 2018 (General Permitted Development). This was granted on the 17th February 2022 and needed to be completed within 3 years of that date. Therefore, the consent has now lapsed but there is excellent scope for redevelopment, subject to a new planning consent being obtained.
