A Grade II listed cottage set within 2.5 acres with planning permission to create a substantial contemporary home. The property has the added benefit of detailed planning permission to create a four/five bedroom, four reception room detached property by refurbishing and extending the cottage into the existing barns and outbuildings. The accommodation would include featherboard clad elevations, a clay roof tiled and extensive aluminium framed glazing for the far reaching views. The current 1,032 sq. ft. of accommodation includes a dual aspect sitting/dining room with an inglenook style fireplace, a study/snug, a fitted kitchen, a ground floor bathroom and three first floor bedrooms.

The property is set well back from the road and bound by mature hedgerow at the front providing screening. It is entered via timber five bar gates to a driveway providing extensive parking and access to the paddocks, stables and hay barn. There is an attached barn.
