The Lodge

Originally constructed in 2007 as a timber framed domestic ancillary annex, and planning permission was sought in 2016 to convert with a timber framed two-bedroom detached lodge, which currently has consent for holiday let use, however, change of use planning permission could be requested to utilise it as part of the main residence, if desired. The Lodge has a planning restriction attached preventing it being sold as a separate dwelling from the main residence. The current owner occupies a lucrative commercial holiday let with a turnover of approximately £27,000 per annum, with 75% occupancy, therefore there is scope for additional revenue, if desired. The furniture and chattels currently used within the holiday cottage are available by separate negotiation.

..

The Lodge benefits from its own entrance from the front, an enclosed rear garden, separate parking from main residence with EV charging station, separate electric meter, and an independent oil-fired central heating boiler. The Lodge is approached via a paved path from the gravelled car parking area to the front of the property into:
