A highly unusual and substantial five/six double bedroom period property, currently two dwellings incorporating a separate self-contained ground floor cottage annexe. Situated in good sized garden grounds and occupying a plot approaching a quarter of an acre, the property offers a private driveway providing off road parking for a number of vehicles, a detached brick garage and stable block and offers considerable potential for remodelling to either convert to one dwelling or retain as two. The cottage would be ideal for a dependant relative or as a property to let. With gas fired central heating, the property currently offers a total of four reception rooms and retains a wealth of original features including heavily beamed ceilings. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the size of the property, the potential and to avoid disappointment.
