Fox Cottage occupies a substantial plot of approximately five acres combining generous formal gardens which extend to the rear and side of the property which in turn open to a private paddock part divided into two with a field shelter to one corner and separate vehicular gated access opening onto Long Lane. A substantial range of wooden outbuildings provides ample storage space with potential and scope for a variety of uses.
Whilst the outbuildings are in a poor state of repair, they have been retained as such so that if one were to re-build them, in whatever form, no planning consent would be required. The whole property is Grade II Listed but it doesn't preclude works being done. A conversation was had with a planner who said they would look favourably upon a request to alter the appearance of the 70s section of the house through black painted cladding or rendering to match the cottage.
We believe the property is served by mains drainage and water with oil-fired central heating.
The Tenure of this property is FREEHOLD. The Council Tax Band is G. The property is Grade II Listed and is therefore EPC exempt.
