Description
This is a semi-detached period cottage set in a plot of approximately 0.4 acres that has been owned by the same family for almost 100 years. Now in need of modernisation there is scope to reconfigure the first floor to provide 3 bedrooms as well as potential to extend the property subject to the necessary planning consents. Planning has already been granted to create a second entrance to the land, widening the existing opening, potentially allowing for the garden plot to be separated. The detached garage offers scope for further development subject to planning.
