Outside

Front - The immediate access off the main road is shared but then leads to your own private driveway and parking area. The drive provides ample off street parking and also leads to a grassed area behind post and rail fencing and 5 bar gate which gives access to a separate grassed drive to the side and rear of the property. This area is well enclosed by wooden fencing. The remainder of the front garden is laid to lawn with shrub borders to the left of the front door, where there is a wooden pedestrian gate.

Outside

Rear - To the immediate rear of the house there is a paved patio area and concrete footpath leading to the annexe and the utility room/lean to. The garden is laid to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders, bushes and young trees. This part of the garden is fully enclosed by wooden fencing. Behind the garden area, with access from the side grass driveway, there are two useful outbuildings. There is also an open ended asbestos Nissan hut, useful for storing items/large log store. The remainder of the land is enclosed by post & wire fencing on one side and a mature tree/bush line on the other. At the bottom on the plot, there is a large fishpond and a selection of young and mature bushes and trees. In total the whole plot extends to almost three and three quarter acres (3.74 subject to survey) and is ideal for someone with animals or involved in agriculture, subject to any necessary permissions. There is also an agriculture holding number (CPH) 13/319/0068

Detached timber workshop with power and light connected.

Outbuildings

Semi-detached (with neighbour) timber building with asbestos and corrugated iron roof which has been split up into three sections. No power connected. Very useful for storage. Section 1 - 4.53m x 3.08m, Section 2 - 5.76m X 3.09m, Section 3 - 6.03m x 5.83m

Agents note

We have been informed that there is a planning condition stating that the annexe can only be used by a member of the family and if used, the annexe is subject to council tax under band A.
If required, it would be very easy to incorporate the annexe into the main house, as a previous doorway could be opened into the inner hall.

Services

All mains services connected to the property including gas, electric, water and sewerage. The central heating is fuelled by gas. There are 14 solar panels which were installed in 2012 and are owned by the sellers. Any excess energy is sold back to the grid, to benefit of the owners.
The property also benefits from a separate water borehole which was originally used for the irrigation of the land, and the current owners have a water extraction licence with the Environment Agency at a cost of £188.40 per annum.
