This spacious, detached property is located on the north side of the main street of this popular and conveniently located village. Although the current owners have carried out certain improvements to the property during their ownership some further work still remains to be done and this is reflected in the realistic asking price. Planning permission for a first floor extension to create two further bedrooms was obtained some years ago and although this has now lapsed it is thought that this might be granted again should a purchaser require this. The well proportioned accommodation is laid out over two floors and currently comprises:- Hall with original tiled flooring, Living Room, Study/Child’s Bedroom, Kitchen, 2 Bedrooms and Bathroom. Double glazing and oil-fired central heating are installed. The property also benefits from a large area of uncultivated garden ground backing on to open farmland to the rear.
