A most appealing detached country cottage with planning permission for a substantial first floor extension situated in an enviable ‘designated quiet lane’ which is a no through lane with bridleway at the end leading to a nature reserve. The house is also located adjacent to woodland, attracting a huge variety of wildlife into the established grounds of 0.76 acre. The property is set well back within its plot which could easily facilitate the value of a larger extension with an impressive long entrance drive. There is also a large ancillary/leisure building incorporating excellent garaging/hobbies room, stabling and a kitchen with a spacious first floor room with shower room, allowing for guest accommodation or home office suite with plenty of storage.

The accommodation currently provides four bedrooms, a family bathroom, well proportioned sitting room, dining room, study, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, ground floor cloakroom and a laundry room. The plans passed will allow for five larger bedrooms, an en suite and two bathrooms. Essentially the new area will be above the sitting room, service rooms, entrance hall and entire kitchen area. Plans can be made available by request when viewing. Planning reference FUL/MAL/07/00047
