Each property had between 4 and 6 acres of workable land, many of the old piggeries have since been converted into workshops, garages and snooker rooms. With the coming of World war two and food production being a priority the Ministry of Agriculture took over many of the properties controlling the production on the estate which was managed by the LSA - Land Settlement Association. Following the Ministries control many of the properties transferred to private ownership with the sale of much of the land to local farmers changing the estate considerably Since then many of the properties have been extended whilst retaining sizeable plots and a few have retained there original land allocation, amidst all these changes the estate has continued to flourish to this day. The estate is a quiet rural retreat often not known to other residents only a mile or two away, in the 1960's the estate was declared a site of Special National interest and as a consequence there are restrictions on what businesses can be on the estate along with no further development. Please note planning applications for existing buildings and outbuildings are considered under normal planning regulations. These properties do not often come to market and are considered a significant development opportunity. <b>Entrance</b> Front double glazed door leading to the inner hall with doors to the lounge, kitchen and under stair storage the hallway also gives access to the turned stairway. <b>Rear Entrance 2.73m (8' 11') x 2.33m (7' 8')</b> To the rear is a useful utility porch giving access to the kitchen and additional down stairs WC. <b>Lounge 5.46m (17' 11') x 3.18m (10' 5')</b> Front & rear aspect double glazed windows Open tiled fireplace Two central heating radiators Ceiling beams <b>Kitchen 3.33m (10' 11') x 3.65m (12' 0')Narrowing to 2.88m</b> Wall & floor units Stainless drainer sink Side aspect double glazed window Panelled doors to the bathroom & utility Central heating radiator <b>Bathroom 1.79m (5' 10') x 1.20m (3' 11')</b> Bath & wash hand basin Rear aspect double glazed window Ceiling light Central heating radiator <b>Landing</b> Access to three bedrooms Spindled balustrade Storage cupboard Central heating radiator Ceiling light <b>Bedroom One 3.17m (10' 5') x 2.86m (9' 5')</b> Front aspect double glazed window Picture rail Central heating radiator Ceiling light Power points <b>Bedroom Two 3.16m (10' 4') x 2.86m (9' 5')</b> Rear aspect double glazed window Picture rail Central heating radiator Power points Ceiling light <b>Bedroom Three 3.66m (12' 0') x 2.47m (8' 1')</b> Side aspect double glazed window Open fireplace Picture rail Central heating radiator Power points Ceiling light <b>First floor w/c 1.05m (3' 5') x 0.81m (2' 8')</b> Rear aspect double glazed window Low flush w/c <b>Front Garden</b> The property has a good sized front garden and driveway leading to the front and side of the property. <b>Additional land </b> The property sits in approximately six acres of land previously part of the land settlement programme, the land in recent years has been used for agricultural and equestrian purposes.
