Loft
The loft area has two distinct parts. The older loft is of large oak beam construction matching the old part of the house. This original floor-boarded area would probably have been a hay loft. The newer Victorian part of the loft is not boarded and has 270mm insulation.
Garden
The fabulous, large and well maintained gardens are truly a selling point to the cottage. With a wrap around aspect, well established lawns and hedges and an array of mature plants, shrubs, apple and pear trees which can be seen from every window of the house.

There are also electric points for the caravan, hot tub and numerous 13 amp sockets. The garden has potential for the current outbuildings to be re-purposed. Possibly an office. Gym or turned into a self-contained granny annex (STPP), the potential here is endless, this home and plot provides a great opportunity for families to either create that for ever home or families who are looking for a multi generation living opportunity.
There even is scope for a new house to be built (STPP) as there are two separate driveways with separate entrances
The potential this property offers both inside and out is huge.
