The estate agent think that there is a huge opportunity for a budding landscaper to transform the land<\/p>\n
‘The entire offering covers some 2.3 acres enclosed within a stone-built wall of some 12ft and benefiting from three arched and gated entrances.<\/p>\n
‘The Gardener’s Cottage is an attractive character stone-built cottage approached via two distinct archways, this three-bedroom cottage has been sympathetically modernised and is now served by an oil-fired central heating system.<\/p>\n
‘The Kitchen Garden and main Walled Garden whilst overgrown, still provide evidence of their working past with numerous fruit trees and dilapidated fruit houses, potting sheds, and nurseries.<\/p>\n
‘The property also offers various outbuildings and garden areas. We are of the opinion that there is enormous scope to re-invent and re-purpose this property to suit several uses perhaps as a commercial horticulture business, wood\/metal and crafts workshops or holiday accommodation.’<\/p>\n
