Description
This family home offers significant potential, especially with existing planning permission for further modernisation and extension. The property includes a large double garage with planning permission to convert it into an annex, perfect for elderly relatives or a teenage suite. The plans also incorporate a substantial rear extension, which would greatly enhance the kitchen and maximise views of the garden. Additionally, there is an exciting opportunity to build an open barn structure for parking, provided it features a 'living roof' as per the planning conditions. The current owners have already made attractive updates, including installing dormer windows to the side and refreshing the interior to create a comfortable living space. A spacious room graced with a brick fireplace as the focal point offering a woodstove for cosy evenings. Triple aspect, double glazed windows and doors leading to the rear garden. Two centre pendant lights, two double radiators and carpet as fitted. A generously sized dining room is ideal for family gatherings. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar affording views across the rear garden and beyond, with the ground floor also having a convenient cloakroom and utility room.
