INTRODUCTION

Set towards the end of a private driveway and in the grounds of Summerlands House, this thoughtfully designed property, which  dates back to circa 1840, having originally forming part of the coach house, certainly comes with it own charm and character in addition to a large, beautiful garden to the rear. There is then garaging with a 22ft bedroom above and bath/shower room, the garage also has full planning consent for conversion downstairs to convert the building, which is completely detached, into a self contained annexe. Internally the house has a beautifully bright sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen, with two bedrooms and spacious bathroom on the first floor. Due to the overall size of the plot there is also scope to extend either to the rear or the side of the house, subject to any necessary planning permissions.

Due to everything the property has to offer in terms of both space and location, an early viewing is certainly a must.
