Ideal for someone with a small business, it could equally be of interest to a family seeking a distinctive living space, or someone looking to reconfigure a large property (subject to the necessary consents). The current configuration has a first floor living area / apartment with three bedrooms, a reception space and kitchen. The entire ground floor comprises an enormous garage, along with a utility room and WC. In the garden, there is a modern self-contained office pod.

The bespoke kitchen has plenty of fitted units, an electric hob, eyelevel double-oven, and integral dishwasher; there is a ceramic tiled floor. There are three double bedrooms – each with built-in wardrobes – a family bathroom and a separate WC. There is also accessible loft storage space.
The ground floor garage / workshop is accessed either through the electric garage door or via a side door. Entering this way, there is a utility room and additional WC. The significant garage area is around 80 square meters in size. It could be used to keep a collection of cars or boats, be a DIYer’s fantasy of a workshop, or the location of a small business with ample space.
