THE PLOT

Adjoining the property is a plot of land on which there stands a barn / workshop (32’ x 24’) with electricity and water and sliding double doors (13’6” opening). The vendors have recently been granted outline planning permission on this site for the erection of a dwelling. The plot extends to some 2/3rd of an acre. There are driveways both sides of the barn giving vehicular access for the proposed dwelling, and to the paddock.

EXTERNALLY

The property is approached from a side road in the village. The driveway leads to the front of the bungalow. There is a large area of garden, laid to grass and mature trees, which lies between the property and the road.

To the rear of the property, there is a large private garden. This is also laid mainly to lawn, but there is a patio area, mature borders and a small ornamental pond. Behind the bungalow is a small orchard with mature fruit trees.

The Buildings

The property includes:

The Land

The land lies to the side of, and behind, the property and is accessed from it. It consists of a large flat paddock, which includes a small wildlife pond and the earthworks of an early motte and bailey castle. The land is ideal for use as a smallholding or as large garden depending on requirements.

The earthworks are surrounded by the old moat, which contains water during the autumn and winter but does dry out over summer. The earth mound is now wooded and is a haven for wildlife and includes a number of badger setts.

The paddock is largely left to grow quite wild, for the local wildlife, although the vendor mows paths through it and also an area for a tennis court. However, it would be ideal for growing vegetables, keeping a limited number of livestock and chickens, or perhaps a pony.

SERVICES

Mains water, sewage and electricity are connected. LPG-fired central heating.

Council Tax band E (approx £1150 pa)
