OUTSIDE
FORMER COTTAGE AND GARAGE
There is a lapsed planning permission on the top driveway to provide a three bay garage with office room above. An additional planning permission and listed buildings permission exists to convert the existing two storey workshop and outside wood store/utility area into a two bedroom cottage. Currently the former cottage houses both gas boilers and the hot water cylinder and it is believed to once be the servants accommodation to the house. The garage is in need of some re-building and is currently being used more as a store. The garage measures circa 30ft x 11' 4" to pillar and there is light and power.
GARDENS
The gardens are mature offering a good mix of paved and lawned areas. A kitchen garden can be found to the left whilst to the right, a raised bank with steps and double gates. Cotswold stone pathways lead out onto the generous gardens towards the rear which is walled and fenced. A further Cotswold stone courtyard area lies to the rear of the house and leads to the original Medieval door to the side of the house.
AGENTS NOTES
Although now in need of some general redecoration and refurbishment, this unique property provides huge potential for the discerning purchaser. If you are looking for a period house with character, we don't think you will find one with much more than this.
