The house and coach house at the rear both require modernisation and redevelopment, the coach house having had historic planning permission to be turned into an additional annex style dwelling where works have begun in the past to keep the permission valid.

Coach House Accommodation - Originally the police station's stables and carriage rooms with hay loft over. We understand the 'coach house' was granted historic planning approval circa the late 1980's to convert the coach house into annex style additional dwelling to comprise garage, kitchen, lounge/diner, two bedrooms and bathroom. Although the planning permission has lapsed, a fair proportion of the conversion work was completed and it is believed that this renders the conversion still valid. Should the buyer wish to complete this conversion they must verify these details via a solicitor before proceeding into a purchase.
