Description

Set in grounds of approximately 0.37 of an acre this extended detached property enjoys an elevated position affording superb views to the front and enjoys a good degree of privacy from neighbouring dwellings and Hayfield Quarry in the distance behind. The building plot for the approved detached annex sits comfortably below the main property ensuring a simple division of land/plots in the future if so desired.

Now back to the main residence, which benefitted from a two-storey extension as recently as January 2023. This work allowed for a master bedroom suite with a dressing room and an en-suite shower room to the first floor and a boot room and accompanying shower room on the ground floor. The property now offers three genuine double bedrooms, with the two remaining double bedrooms enjoying superb views to the front and sharing the refurbished family bathroom. There are also two separate reception rooms to the ground floor, both with wood burning stoves, plus a refitted kitchen and an adjacent laundry room, in addition to the newly created boot room and shower room.
Externally the main residence benefits from a block paved driveway that can comfortably accommodate at least three vehicles, with overflow parking for numerous vehicles currently available on the plot below, where there is also a single detached garage, although this would be removed should any building work be undertaken. The gardens serving the main residence have been mostly hard landscaped for ease of maintenance. There is a spacious paved patio at ground level with a dry-stone wall and a raised planter bed in the background. There is then a step up from this area to an elevated patio and grassed area along with a section housing a green house and some semi-mature trees.

Overall this is a rare and exciting opportunity for the right buyer. It's not every day that a property with a building plot comes for sale and this would very much suit those with multi-generational living requirements or a business owner/sole trader that may seek some alterations to the existing planning consent. Viewing is highly recommended.
