The south east facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a hedged boundary and an elevated decking platform, strategically placed to take full advantage of the lovely countryside views.

Development Plot
The existing barn building currently comprises a 1062sq ft, one storey building with off street parking and a small copse area to the foot of the plot. Planning is granted to convert this building into a two storey, 1600sq ft dwelling, providing three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open plan kitchen lounge diner, alongside a utility room and WC. The commercial property is currently utilised as a training centre, measuring 2195sq ft, operating under use class E and benefits planning permission to demolish the building and replace it with a four bedroom detached house, comprising four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open plan kitchen lounge diner and a separate reception room.

The current owners use the commercial building as their business headquarters and this property could remain as business premises should a prospective buyer wish. The former tennis court provides an abundance of additional parking to the commercial premises, with the remainder of the plot made up of a paddock area to the rear of the car park which has views over the surrounding farm land
