Description
An outstanding and unique property offering a range of versatile opportunity for the potential Buyers. The property sits on an elevated site, offering far reaching views, yet is very secluded and private.

The bungalow has pebble dashed elevation and tiled roof covering and has been modernised to a very high standard, offering spacious accommodation and benefits from planning consent to provide further living accommodation if desired.

The outbuildings have until recently been utilised as a successful boarding kennels business and this use could be reinstated, subject to obtaining the relevant Licences. There is also planning consent for the erection of a new replacement kennels building following the demolition of the existing buildings surrounding the concrete exercise yard and courtyard. The buildings also offer potential for alternative uses and further conversion.

The owners have undertaken an extensive programme of works including 6ft external boundary fencing, landscaping and levelling areas of the land and planting over 500 saplings.
