Additional Information
I have briefly mentioned the house as well as the two outbuildings but I would also like to bring to your attention the further opportunities to extend the existing footprint of the property (not included in the initial asking price).
The successful purchaser at an extra cost subject to separate negotiation as an example can drastically increase the square footage of the property if required. Plans have been drawn up to create a single storey extension to the rear of the property that will increase the existing sq ft of the house on the ground floor by a further 750 sq ft as shown in the artwork to the rear elevation. The external dimensions will be approx. 9m wide by 8m deep. If required the purpose of this extension would be to provide a large open inside/outside space with bifold doors leading out onto a large patio area on the ground floor to the rear and side area where a large oak Pergola will then be constructed giving covered access onto a swimming pool and BBQ area as shown in the artwork. The roof of the extension will be decked and surrounded with a glass balustrade thus increasing the balcony area by an additional 750 sq ft and enabling access from the first floor landing to the rear of the property as well as the master bedroom out onto the roof of the extension and could be used as a social area benefiting from the south facing aspect with extensive open rural views.
There is also the opportunity as mentioned for a swimming pool and oak built covered entertainment/BBQ area. Stables and paddock
The house has been constructed in the most sustainable/eco-friendly way by using natural materials such as timber/oak frame and lime rendering on the house as well as mixing cutting edge technology with the insulation and heat retention in tandem with the air source solar heating systems.

In conclusion:
This is a unique opportunity to have the house of your dreams completed to an excellent standard to meet all of your needs and taste as well as an extensive selection of extras and as mentioned above “anything is possible”.
