It was built some ten years ago and fully insulated with electric heating and quality uPVC sash style windows comprising living room, kitchen, bedroom, shower room.

There is also an extensive range of outbuildings, historically used as an MOT station and vehicle repair business, but offering great potential for a whole range of uses, again, subject to the necessary planning consents.
