Kings Orchard is a largely Seventeenth Century Grade II listed house in need of complete renovation, surrounded by its own land at the end of a country lane. The main house is complimented by a two bedroom detached cottage. The property benefits from extensive grounds consisting of formal gardens and a driveway leading to a garage and stables. The paddocks then wrap around the property measuring a total of 3.96 acres. The floor plan shows the present layout of the house but there is scope for extension (subject to planning permission and listed building consent) should you require additional accommodation. Character features such as exposed beams, exposed brick, timber doors, wooden floorboards, casement windows and an open Inglenook fireplace can be seen. The property could create the most wonderful project for anyone wishing to put their own stamp on a rural home.
Additionally you will find a detached two bedroom cottage which could be rented out separately (subject to permissions) or used as an annexe or a holiday let. Property Ref: STR230154.
