From Thorpe Street, access the property via wooden gates onto a tarmacadam driveway providing ample off-street parking and flanked on either side by attractive raised beds edged with reclaimed railway sleepers, also home to two elegant silver birch trees. Beyond the driveway is a superb patio which combines natural Indian sandstone paving with porcelain paving. The elevated principle lawn is retained by rustic sleepers and sustainable gabion walls and accessed via steps from the patio. At the very top of the garden, you are rewarded with pleasant rooftop views, vegetable beds, fruit trees, greenhouse and shed.

Potential Development Opportunities

Adjacent to the driveway entrance, there is a STONE OUTBUILDING which the present vendors use for storage but which could, subject to planning, be converted to a garden office or studio, for example.

Also, at the time of preparing these property particulars, the current vendors have architect drawings prepared in readiness for applying for planning permission to create a two-storey detached dwelling with associated parking which would be located in the north-east section of the garden. If approved, this would make an ideal annexe to the main property. Alternatively, it could be rented out as an investment property or sold separately should you not want to develop the plot yourself.
