The property comprises a detached house arranged over ground and first floors which has laid vacant for many years, it is however in a poor state of repair having suffered flood damage and requires substantial upgrading if the intention is to retain the existing structure.
It nonetheless comprises a detached two storey dwelling house built of painted brick elevations relieved by metal framed `crittal` windows, all under a hipped, pitched and tiled roof. The property has been extended to the rear by means of a single storey felt flat roof extension to provide an additional ground floor reception room and is set in grounds extending to approximately 1.30 acres. We would estimate the property was built probably during the 1960s having been altered over recent years.
It should also be noted that the site embraces a discussed quarry which may impact on any proposed development of the site ( see comments below under Town & County Planning ).
