The property has an adjoining annexe, which could be further developed to create a totally independent living space, a home office/studio or potential for holiday accommodation (subject to the necessary consents). The property is set back from the road and accessed through timber double gates, giving access to a large tarmac and paved drive, which provides off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to the double garage, workshop and outbuildings.
