Description
White House Cottages
The cottages are a pair of semi-detached dwellings, with rendered elevations under a plain tiled roof. Both dwellings have three-bedrooms on the first floor with kitchen, living room and utility area on the ground floor. They benefit from UPVC windows, are heated via LPG boiler and radiators and served by mains electricity and water and private drainage to septic tank.
Both share a large lawned garden and No. 2 has parking to the rear and No. 1 benefitting from front parking and direct access to the main road.
Both properties have use of some timber portal outbuildings which offer useful storage and amenity space.
The cottages offer the potential to convert into a single detached dwelling or renovate and modernise to continue as a pair of semi-detached properties. They might also be removed to benefit the wider planning permission subject to obtaining the necessary consents. They offer useful on-site accommodation alongside the neighbouring development.
A grass paddock is also available, with existing access to the rear of the stone barn. It extends to 1.48 acres and has mature hedgerow as its boundary. The land is adjacent to the settlement boundary defined in the Clifford Neighbourhood Development Plan 2022. It offers amenity value to the existing dwellings or development potential subject to the necessary consents.
