The Property

White Flatt was originally constructed as a 1,173ft², 4/5 bedroom bungalow with large gardens and stunning views across the hilltops of the next valley. The house is currently split into one three bedroom dwelling alongside a partially separated annexe that consists of a breakfasting kitchen and bright sitting room with fireplace. There is a bathroom shared between the two elements of the property. The extra space could easily be incorporated back into the main home to create one large family residence.

There is development potential either to rebuild the house, refurbish the home as it is or to use the land for building plots (subject to securing the necessary planning). Although mostly back to brick, it is useful to note that White Flatt is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage.

Externally

The plot abuts the boundary of Hadrian’s Wall. The 0.38 acres encompasses the house with surrounding gardens and shed, then moves into a section of land which currently incorporates lawn, a concrete stand for a summer house and a greenhouse, all further enhanced by the far-reaching views and the historical nature of the surrounding countryside.
