The Garden House presents an exciting and rare opportunity to enhance a wonderfully positioned family home in a stunning semi-rural setting accompanied by approved planning for two holiday cottages via the conversion of the greenhouse.

Inside, The Garden House enjoys spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor there is a sociable kitchen/breakfast room (currently arranged as a study area), two well-proportioned reception rooms, utility and sun room. On the first floor there are four bedrooms with bedroom one being of particular interest with a square bay window perfectly placed to take in the view, a dressing area and en suite bathroom.
The annex, which has its own private entrance provides a great opportunity for multi-generational living or creating an income. It currently comprises a kitchen, dining room, sitting room, downstairs WC, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Gardens and Grounds
Outside the gardens of about 1.12 acres are a delight, approached via the generous dive, it provides ample parking for numerous cars and you are immediately taken with the setting and outstanding uninterrupted rural views. The south westerly facing walled garden is mostly laid to lawn with an array of established trees, shrubs and plants. The outbuilding include a flint built potting shed and a useful double garage. The Greenhouse has approved planning for two, two bed holiday cottages with their own private gardens.
