The property is situated alongside a quiet country lane between Bartestree and Whitestone and enjoys peace and tranquillity yet the convenience of easy access and security of being set within a small and scattered hamlet.

Description

The property itself offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial countryside house in .8 acre of large almost level gardens, ideal for a family, keen gardener, or someone with livestock. The far end of the garden has a pond and a number of mature and ornamental trees and could easily be sectioned to provide a small paddock.

The house was constructed circa 1996/7 on the site of an original brick building. It is well maintained but also offers an opportunity to restyle if desired. The bathroom, master ensuite and downstairs WC have all been recently upgraded and a new central heating and hot water boiler was installed in January 2023.

There is a concrete base adjacent to the sitting room ideal for the erection of a conservatory or terrace seating area, and there would be ample space to extend the property if required and subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The driveway extends to the rear of the property where there is a large parking and turning area for approximately 4+ vehicles in front of the double detached garage and workshop block.
