Description

Situated in the picturesque Northumbrian village of Wark, this is a rare gem of an opportunity located on the periphery of the village, but within walking distance of all its facilities and amenities. Detailed planning permission has recently been granted for the construction of a single detached dwelling and the construction of a new access driveway to the property from the public highway. The two storey property will comprise; a reception hall, a generous sized living/dining kitchen, a spacious home office which could also be used as a third bedroom with its own en-suite facilities. There is also a downstairs cloakroom/utility room. Stairs lead up to the first floor where there is the spacious principal bedroom with en-suite facilities and a second double bedroom, again with en-suite facilities. Individual mature building plots rarely come onto the market in this region and we would strongly recommend an early inspection in order to fully appreciate what is on offer. Please note that the bungalow immediately adjacent (Shanlea) is also available for sale should the buyer need a property to live in whilst constructing this or if two dwellings are required for family/dependant relatives etc.
