GENERAL COMMENTS

The Clifts offers a unique opportunity for complete redevelopment and has been in the same family for over 80 years. The site currently comprises a detached 1952 asbestos bungalow, 2 mobile homes, a range of outbuildings, and approximately 3.5 acres of land in a delightful rural location on the outskirts of Bissoe. The location is very special and there is excellent riding opportunities for equestrian enthusiasts with safe hacking-out. There are two mobile homes, one of which is the main dwelling with the second an annexe to this, both homes have a certificate of lawfulness. The bungalow is in need of complete redevelopment but offers tremendous potential and it is very likely that the whole site could be redeveloped (subject to consents). Prospective purchasers will need to satisfy themselves regarding the potential for appropriate development, and make any necessary investigations with the relevant authority.The range of buildings includes a garage, utility and w.c. as well as a day room with fireplace and a workshop. There is parking for several cars and a large lawned garden as well as three separate paddocks, all secure behind hedged boundaries with gated access.
