To the first floor are 4 double bedrooms leading off a wide galleried landing, the main bedroom has built-in wardrobes an ensuite and an additional, large, 4-piece family bathroom. This lovely home can be enjoyed in its current condition but would benefit from some refurbishment. Alternatively, it would make an exciting project, our clients have obtained two sets of planning permission by a renowned contemporary architect. The first, is for extension and refurbishment of the existing. The second, for replacement of the existing with a 3154 sq.ft (293 sq.m) new build in sympathy with the existing structure. In anticipation and to future proof the home, the garage has been rebuilt to include bespoke electric doors and incorporates a state-of-the-art plant room with an exceptionally efficient ground source heat pump, its own bore hole and water filtration system providing an unmetered water supply.
