  • In addition, there is a further large detached heritage building and garage complex with workshop areas incorporated, that may also lend itself for future conversion if so required
  • However, this beautiful secret lake, could be greatly enhanced if required, subject to planning
  • When taking into account all of the property’s grass paddocks, this attractive country home is also considered ideal to have professional equestrian adaptations, with ample space for stables and an all-weather menage to be built, with even the possibilities for the construction of a covered arena, subject to planning, especially considering the numerous old historic farm buildings that have been on the farm and their still existing remaining foundations
  • However, the foundations were at the time of construction of the new extension, intentionally increased under the present sun terrace to allow for an even greater single storey to be added if required in the future subject to planning
  • Above is a large pyramid styled skylight and at the end of this large single storey open plan extension are two large twin double glazed doors that open out onto a very large paved patio, which underneath has the correct base and footings if the existing single storey extension were to ever need to be extended out further in the future
  • In our opinion, there could also be excellent scope to build a good-sized stable complex, in addition to also incorporating other equestrian facilities as a result of all the historic buildings previously located on this very appealing country estate / small holding
  • There was also an outdoor swimming pool located behind the pavilion building which the previous owners decided to fill in, but as there was existing past planning permission for the pool, it should be fairly easy to reinstate a new one
