DESCRIPTION
Notchcut is an attractive, traditional red brick farm house in this highly sought after rural location sitting within private gardens with additional land circa 8.8 acres and an array of useful outbuildings to include red brick barn, stores, sheds and workshops and offers a wonderful opportunity to purchase, modernise and potentially develop this lovely home into a high-quality country property.

The property, a former fruit farm, dates back circa 1879 with plenty of original features offering an abundance of character with potential to extend/develop, having previously been granted planning permission (now lapsed) for the conversion and extension of the nearby red brick barn to create independent, attached annex accommodation.

The property has well-proportioned accommodation over two floors comprising three first floor bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious landing. The ground floor has two attractive reception rooms, fitted kitchen diner with pantry and a ground floor shower room with WC.

Outside there are a number of useful stores, barns, workshops, an initial red brick barn with pitched roof stabling, a large store/workshop, timber sheds and a generous Dutch barn all sat within the 10 acres of land.

The land is split into three significant parcels with two areas of land over the private driveway, all enclosed and gated. Notchcut would benefit from some modernisation but has been well loved and cared for however there is further potential to extend and develop, subject to relevant consents and permissions.

The property is available with no onward chain and an internal inspection is thoroughly recommended.
