The plot is situated at the end of a private no-through lane in a completely tucked away setting. The property is surrounded by a gentle valley and commands lovely open views of the surrounding countryside.

The property, as a whole, comprises a timber single-storey detached dwelling with planning consent, ancillary outbuildings, garden, adjoining field with access to Failand Lane and a small parcel of ground further along the lane.

Planning consent was granted in May 2021 to demolish the dwelling, summer house/cabin and stores to erect a 4 bedroom detached 2 storey house with a gross external area of about 200 sq m, with living accommodation arranged on the first floor, designed to take advantage of its settings and views. Ref:20/P/3161/FUL "Demolition of existing dwelling and annexe and erection of a new dwelling with associated landscaping". In addition the plot was granted a 'Certificate of Lawful Development for the erection of a building, Ref: 20/P1093/LDE. This consent refers to the existing summer house/cabin.

There is further consent Ref: 19/P2685/FUL of the double garage, adjoining store, and adjacent store only for "change of use of outbuilding to a residential dwelling (Use Class 3)".

Gowan Croft is approached over a private access which leads to a double garage with adjoining store room, an adjacent detached store room and additional parking in front of the garage. The private access also continues to a farm gate through which access is gained to the house.

The garden which principally has post and rail fencing along its boundary has an open aspect over the valley towards the south, west and north. There are timber outbuildings which include a bat house. Adjoining to the north is a gently sloping field with a shallow stream meandering around its boundary.

Please note that a public right of way runs along the perimeter of part of the east boundary of the field
and exits to the north on to adjoining farmland.
