The original farmhouse has been extended and now offers over 4,500 Sq.Ft of well-proportioned family accommodation over two floors. The house would benefit from some modernisation and stands in an attractive and mature garden of approximate 1.55 acres. The property offers tremendous redevelopment potential subject to any necessary planning consents.
