Thought to have been built in the 1970's this block and rendered chalet bungalow has good size accommodation with a mix of Upvc and timber double glazing and would now benefit from some modernisation.

Barn - Garage/Workshop

Car Port

To the rear of the barn is a long steel frame car port providing lots of extra storage and cover for the cars.

Drive And Parking

A short tarmac drive sweeps down off the road and around to a parking and turning area below the property. Please note that a part of the drive and barn is in a flood risk zone.

Grounds

Steps lead up to the front door, or a slope provides a path up through the now over grown gardens. Whilst now in need of a significant trim there are a number of shrubs and trees, opening up through the paddock forming an arboretum feel. At the top is another access on to the top lane, Beside the house is a large patio with a path leading to a potting shed.
