" House and existing Garden available for `Offers in excess of ?600,000. Annexe behind available for another ?50,000.

Turning off Mountnessing Road into Buckwyns Chase is like turning back the clock back a generation. The private road peters out to a small network of unmade lanes, accessing a myriad of different size properties on different size plots. All enjoying their individual semi-rural or fully rural environments. A hidden gem for those seeking a quiet, out-of-the-way country lifestyle.

This particular 4 Bedroom Detached House sits at the end of one of these lanes, between a current Barn Conversion to the left and an originally similar character house on the right.

Extended over the years, this is a project not for the fainthearted.

Yet at the same time it offers huge upside potential, and the nucleus of a large family home is already there - its waiting for you to refurbish and renovate it.


IMPORTANT NOTES:

The Barn Conversion next door to the left, is work in progress. The owner of this property (The Anchorage) also owns the Barn Conversion. The sale of this house will pay for the landscaping of the grounds of the Barn and then the Barn will also be sold, once the landscaping is done.

Next door to the right, was the Citroen Breakers Yard. This is now long gone. The owners having retired. In place of the yard is a huge brand new house (brand new - hence not visible on Google Earth, although you can see its footprint).

The owner envisages once the groundsworks of the barn conversion are finished, the road will then be resurfaced as it has been further down the lane.

Behind The Anchorage is a part-built Annexe. Formally an old outbuilding which has been extended over the many years. THIS IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE FOR AN EXTRA ?50,000. It could be purchased now - alonmg with The Anchorage, or the owner is equally non-plussed if a buyer purchases the annexe at a later date. Choice is yours.

Upstairs all four bedrooms are doubles, one of them has an Ensuite Shower Room and the main Bathroom is fitted out as a Shower Room.
