I am going to try and do my best to describe to you the most obvious ways that you could configure this large property. Although there are many ways, there are two layouts that stick out like a sore thumb!
1. You use this as a 6 bedroom detached property with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs and 4 bedrooms upstairs with an en suite in the master bedroom and a family bathroom.
There would be a kitchen, lounge / diner and office space as well as a second kitchen which could be utilised in many different ways. There is a downstairs cloakroom.
2. You use it as a 4 bedroom detached house with 4 double bedrooms (master ensuite) and a family bathroom. Downstairs there would be a large lounge / diner, a large kitchen and office space. There is a downstairs cloakroom. The other rooms could easily be used as a separate 'wing'. It would consist of a lounge, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a separate kitchen.
With both of these ideas there is a massive cellar that it over 23 square metres!
The double garage has been converted into an annex. It has a lounge / kitchen and upstairs there is a bedroom, bathroom. Again with some modernisation and a lick of paint, this could be a super 'granny annex' or 'teenagers den' or just about anything you wanted!
The grounds of this property as extensive and it sits in a plot of over one acre. There is a decent size swimming pool that needs re-lining, but we are told the pump and filter house are still operational. At the moment there are a couple of mobile homes and containers in the grounds that the current owners will get removed if required. The garden is laid mainly to lawn and there is a wooded area.
The front of the property has a decent size front garden.
To the side of the property is a large car park area that the current owners have used for their company vehicles. This could house 2/3 properties is planning permission was to be granted.
This truly is a large property that is crying out to be restored to its former glory. So if you are looking for a project and fancy a 6 bed property with an annex, a 4 bed property with a 1 bed wing, and an annex, or any other combination then this is the property for you!
