Occupying a superb country lane position on a plot in excess of 2 acres is this four bedroom detached house with structural defects offering scope for redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Ankerdine House has had the benefit of oil central heating and double glazed windows however, due to the structural element of the property, will require replacement of the dwelling. The original house provided four bedroom accommodation over two floors and had been extended from the original dwelling house.
At the front of the property is an enclosed entrance porch that leads through to the hallway where the stairs lead up to the first floor accommodation. The hall 'snakes' its way through the house with a cloakroom and rear lobby. At the front of the house are three reception rooms with the main sitting room a relatively square room with dual aspect and patio doors leading through to a conservatory. At the rear of the house is a further conservatory and a kitchen and separate breakfast room.
On the first floor is a central landing that runs from front to back. At the front of the house are two double bedrooms whilst at the rear is a good size single bedroom. The main bathroom has a separate toilet whilst the landing leads along to the principle largest bedroom.
The house is well screened from the lane with an in and out driveway and sits at the front of a plot that extends to just over two acres. There is a single garage and a large outbuilding that will both need replacing. There is access to either side of the house to the rear garden which is overgrown with a variety of mature trees providing a delightful wooded setting for the house and backs onto fields. A new boundary will be formed with the adjoining woodland, so appropriate fencing will need to be erected.
