Our Summary
- It subsequently fell into disrepair and became derelict but was rescued by the current owner in 2001 and totally renovated from the cellar to the roof
- However, it would be possible to increase the living accommodation even further, subject to planning permission, by utilising the large loft space and/or adding an extension onto the side of the property as there is sufficient additional off road parking adjacent to the front of the house
